I am not an American citizen, I live in England,I support the death penalty.The death penalty is the only apt penalty for certain crimes,abuse and murder of children,murder in a robbery, bank, post office, home etc.In the U.K. there has been a number of horrific child murders,with the killere now in prison, will be out in less than 10 years.Have the 'bleeding hearts' and wet liberals ever heard of retribution?How would they punish the killers who took part in the horrible Connecticut murders?

The above comment illustrates precisely what's wrong with the death penalty. It's about retribution, not about justice. When our opinions are based on anger, not on rational thought, the validity of those opinions are at best tainted and likely entirely invalid.

@ Ian... Retribution is Justice. Anger is appropriate and reasonable.
