I'm against revenge killing.
Edited on Sat Dec-30-06 12:35 AM by Nutmegger
100% against, no ifs, ands or buts. That includes a serial murderer, a corrupt murderous dictator and everyone in between. I have never once rethought my position; I've never wavered.

One of the reasons is because of the behavior that I see here and other places. People celebrating his death, as if some family member reached a milestone that must be celebrated. It's vile when people dance with glee over state-sectioned MURDER. The way the media dresses this up as a walk in the park. The way they sugarcoat the process, everything. It makes me want to puke.

Murder and state-sectioned murder is never justifiable.

1. Me too
I oppose it for many reasons, which I believe are both moral and logical.

2. I find it bizarre to see all the pro-death penalty people here
whenever something like this comes up. I just don't understand it at all.

3. I find it hard to understand the glee ...
that's not the right word, but it's close. It's a bit more than simple satisfaction.

It's not easy, but with some effort I manage to understand it most days. Doesn't let me approve it. But I can live with it.
