I know this has been discussed before.... but what are everyone's views on capital punishment? The reason I'm wondering is because I used to be against it, because spending the rest of your life in jail seemed like more of a punishment for these people. I also didn't really believe in the whole "eye for an eye" arguement. Because killing the criminal would not make the crime go away.
However, since the executions of Tim McVeigh and the impending trial of the two snipers, my views are changing a little. I was glad that McVeigh got the death sentence, even though I knew that his death would only bring little solace to the victim's families. With the two snipers I found myself thinking "Fry the bastards!!!"
Okay, now I know we can have a rational discussion about this. So no bickering or name calling, please (I know I'm taking all the fun out of it ).
