My opinion on the death penalty seems to change very often, one one hand people who commit wholesale slaughter(colombine?), in my honest opinion don't deserve to die, they deserve to be locked in a very, very small cell with water and left to starve slowly to death, and even that is too good. Vengeful and cruel as that seems consider the terrible mental and physical(survivers) burden they have placed on the community, it is as bad as Vietnam Veterans(another pointless loss of life but don't get me started). lived have been ended for no reason or ruined becuse someone was angry and decided to take it out on someone else. Wouldn't you be out for blood if someone shot your daughter? On the other hand, yes, it can be used as a tool by goverments, but overall, i'm still for it, some people cancel out their right to live ten times over.
