Captiol Punishment

[jango]

I'm going to be quite biased here because I'm someone living in a country where the police don't carry guns, and a country that doesn't have capital punishment and hasn't had for some decades.

For me killing, whether based on a lawful or unlawful basis, is the greatest failing in humanity. Specifically to do with this topic I see capital punishment as a slightly stunted solution, and if anything a limp-wristed and archaic option for legal matters. There are some terrible people in the world, for sure, and it's hard to be anything but emotive if anything terrible touches your life or something you care about, but for me personally I don't see any moral mileage in resorting to killing as an answer to it. For me it does nothing to raise us above the consciousness of a wild animal and is full of potential problems.
