(rule excludes government) Capital punishment is the killing of a killer. The act of capital punishment is wrong and useless and I have few reasons why. When a murderer is executed or shot by lethal injection it costs almost twice as much as a criminal sitting in jail for 20 years.

If we keep killing all of these felons, we'll quickly run out of money, simply because of this wasteful act. The money that is going towards the execution and the supplies are coming from your tax money. The more people the government continues to kill, the less money will go towards things we really want and need. The authorities are encouraging murders because of capital punishment.

They are being as unjust as the felon did in the first place. Therefore no one but God should be at the power to choose when a fellow human b...
