Whenever the concept of Capital Punishment crops up - and it always does on threads like this - I am always willing to state my view -
Since Capital Punishment is not, by definition, a punishment, it can only be revenge.
That makes it state-sponsored murder, and that is not the way a civilsed society deals with its criminals, because to do so, puts in in the same situation as the murderer, and that cannot be right.
That is my personal view against Capital Punishment, and if that puts me a tad lower than this murderer in the eyes of Retrocop, then I'll live with that.
