100% oppose. It is a penalty that ultimately achieves nothing more than a dead person and a brief "thrill" of revenge. There is no evidence of actual substance that the death penalty is a deterrent (think about it: do terrorists actually care about their lives? You're making them martyrs with their executions), and it costs more than life in prison with how our system works. We have also ended up with an innocent person dead.
All this stupid punishment is, is a morbid spectacle. Of course your average Joe wouldn't want to die if he committed a crime, but he wouldn't want to go to prison either.
