I consider myself opposed to the death penalty in nearly all cases, but I believe it's the only appropriate punishment in the following cases:
- Crimes against humanity (reserved for dictators such as Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, etc)
- major war criminals (such as the Nazi officials who were executed after WWII)
- Terrorists who are responsible for mass casualty attacks (9/11, the November 2015 Paris attacks, etc)
Since most of these would be handled by military courts, I favor abolishing the death penalty for civilians.
