I just think the majority of everyone in the world are a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians, that's all. Don't see what it's going to prove to anyone by putting him to death for whatever reason. It's not like the families are getting to kill him themselves, and it's not even like it's some brutal inhumane death he's getting either. I dunno, methinks too many people of the world are brainwashed into thinking that the death penalty really is necessary, or it's the right thing to do as an end to the situation, or will ease their "pain", etc etc.
As you can see, I don't believe in the death penalty, I don't think a self proclaimed justice system in the eyes of god has the right to kill someone in god's name. I just think it all started off as professional legal excuse to kill people in the old days, and continue that kind of selfish brutality tht went on back then, (still going on today because we fail to see the actuality of the whole thing) but using the god thing as a reason to do so.
