I just don't get it. It's bad that they killed in malice but it's okay for another human being to execute them because it's serving as punishment??
I agree. The logic confuses me...killing is bad unless we say you can.

I guess the rationale is not the killing part but the revenge part...so killing for individual reasons is not okay but killing for revenge sanctioned by the government is a-okay.

I also agree with Ricardo that maybe people can change and reach some kind of redemption. But they should enjoy their redemptions forever in the privacy of their jailcells til kingdom come.
