There have been events in the U.S. in the past few years that warrant the death penalty and I DON'T mean a painless one in the past few years. I am talking about the sniper case from a few years back as an example. In cases like that the death penalty is approriate the problem is it's too easy. The fact that scum that is literally without a shadow of a doubt guilty is shown mercy with a "painless and merciful" punishment. The painless bullshits just not right sometimes showing mercy to those who deserve to suffer is sad in my eyes as sick as that may sound.

All you are doing is giving in to your emotions and wanting revenge. It's not a nice emotion and is pretty primative and humas first reaction to any crime in the past was wanting to inflict pain and death on people.

If you kill them they have a 0% chance of inflicting future harm upon other people. Even in jail there's the chance that they'll escape and hurt people again or people within the jail itself.

People can stay on death row for like 12 years before they are killed. That's more than enough time to kill someone else in jail or escape.
