But you don't think somebody who's inflicted vast amounts of death and suffering on other people deserves it himself?
Indeed. He deserves suffering. And he will suffer much more being stuck between walls than being dead.
It's way worse to know than you'll be in prison for decades and than you'll never get out until your death. It's longer and it makes him suffer more.
A dead person can't suffer.
I've been saying this here for years, but you'd be
amazed how difficult it is for the death penalty advocates here to grasp it.
Of course, some of them (not necessarily anyone here, but still) entertain the belief that there is a worse 'punishment' than prison waiting for them
after their execution. That's the point where I guess I give up. I can't discuss rational topics that affect human life and death with someone who believes that. [/mini-rant]
