Your position on the death penalty

[MN-Troy]

I am in favor of the death penalty and it should be administered to our cruelest and coldest murderers. When a murderer is executed, the message is powerful and that is the crime that was committed was so terrible, the person has no right to live. Furthermore, executing a murderer not only sends a message that justice has been serve, but it also protects the lives of the innocent.

I also do understand that no undertaking humans may partake is completely infallible; however, given the current context of how the death penalty is applied, the benefits of the death penalty outweigh the known risks.

Institutionalized murder.

Equating execution and murder is fundamentally flawed. By your definition, the legal incarnation of a criminal could be construed as institutionalized kidnapping or the legal taking of property to pay off debt could be interpreted as institutionalized theft.

The moral equivalency argument between execution and murder is an untenable position, and with all due respect there is an absence of reality of what you are equating.
