i believe that a man should be killed in the manner that he killed the bible says a eye for a eye and a tooth for a tooth let the men suffer the way they killed and have no meurcy on their soul they did it they need to suffer too i say the leathel injection is too kind if it were back in the old days they would have hung well i think the law is to soft now i say kill the bastards they way they killed with no mercy on them at all they had none on the victim then they can burn in hell for ever

Be that as it may, I still feel capital punishment is just. It should be the victim's family to decide, either hanging, electric chair, or firing squad. Or in the days of government financial cutbacks, maybe a simple .22 behind the ear and the body dumped in a paupers grave would be just as good.
