this whole subject is very emotive and subjective.
i would like to say that i would pull the lever or push the button to execute a convicted murderer where there is without a shadow of doubt the accused committed the crime, however, would i actually do it when put in the situation?...no one can be sure they would answer 'yes'.
i believe in capital punishment 100% as long as the evidence is also 100%.
we had a case here in Australia twenty years ago whereby Lindy & Michael Chambellion were found guilty of the murder of their daughter Azaria at Ayres Rock,they always maintained that a dingo took the baby from the family tent, they were eventually aquitted after spending a long while in jail, to this day little Azaria's body has not been found, even Aboriginal trackers could not find her.....if you want to know the whole story google it!
i have seen islamic stoning videos on the net and they are barbaric IMO, but who am i to say how another culture or country hands out punishment in a system that has been used for eons...each country to their own.
hyperthetically:
if a twentyish year old is convicted after he/she pleads guilty to a horrendous crime, i would rather not see my taxes spent on that person live in jail for another possibly fifty or sixty years, i'd rather a quick end to the problem by either letting the other crims finish him/her off or by lethal injection and use my taxes on schools, hospital beds or feeding the poor and homeless in my community.
that is my last comment on the subject...you can all fight it out humanely without me
