I do not believe in the death penalty, but I do understand how others can support it. If someone killed a loved one of mine, it is quite possible that I would kill them myself. This may be hypocritical , but it is what it is. We really differ on this, cin, lol. The last thing I'd do is execute someone to put them out of their suffering. Mr. Mean I said little when I mentioned justifiable. I know death by my own hand would be unexcusable in my God's eyes..but having but weighed 85 pounds most of my entire life, if the only way to stop something horrific especially regarding a wee one, I feel I would do it if, and only if, super human strengh or reasoning did not work. My small self has cowered the biggest of people and that has never been an option. I am not afraid just because of my small size. I would probably risk my own life instead to save another if it came down to it. Some people just do not ever develop the part of their brain that controls reason...it is those that scare me the most, as more than likely they cannot control it themselves either by birth defect, damage or abuse. Andrea Yates for example Level....I am torn on that decision by her re trial.
