[quote=Go G-Men;2827128]I think the death penalty is right for many reasons.

An eye for an eye... You take a life (murder), you forfeit your right to life. /quote]

I can't help but agree here. To me, it's a moral thing; you get what you deserve in return for a gristly act. Let me add one more thought here: You mess with a child, causing torture, abuse, and death, it's automatic.

Maybe some might consider it a harsh philosophy, but I'm not happy that - hanging by the neck until dead, or facing a firing squad - is no longer considered a suitable punishment.
