Get out of my library!

I hate it when there're lots of people in the library. It makes it hard to concentrate. But anyway, that wasn't the point. Should the death penalty be legalized? I just had a short conversation on that. If someone raped and murdered your 12-year-old sister, would you want him dead? Would you forgive him? If you were a judge, could you condemn someone to death? If they were guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt of some horrendous rape or murder, could you kill them? It's legal in the States, why not here? If they went to jail for 20 years then got out, and reoffended, wouldn't it be better if they were dead? They couldn't hurt anyone else. Is that fair justice? Is it fair to the person who did it? Is it fair to the family who lost their sister and daughter and friend? Is it fair? Is life fair? Should the death penalty be legalized? I think so.

i dont think it should be.
your killing someone for killing someone. so therefore shouldnt YOU be killed. its an endless circle
plus, arent you always supposed to forgive one another. no matter what?
