NO and absolutely NOT!!!

It's a hypocritical stance for any government to take. If killing is wrong, then killing is wrong. To punish someone for murder by taking their life is to approve basically of what they have done. I do not support this kind of conduct. Further, there is NO manner in which to rectify a mistake once the DP is done. Frankly, it is barbaric and below what a decent society does. What is essential is that society is protected. Furthermore, IMO, locking someone up for life is a far greater punishment than setting them free in death. Society is protected and the person pays their dues to society by imprisoning them ~~ we do NOT need to add a pound of flesh to this. I do not wish to have the blood of public state-carried-out murder on my hands and morally I cannot support killing in the name of the state to revenge the breaking of a law of the state.

Just my opinion....
