I am against the death penalty - period. It will never stop people killing others, it will never lead to a better society - so why do it. To me the simple answer is blood lust. It really isn't finding justice for a family, or demanding a life for a life - if that were the case there would be a lot of dead law enforcement officers, security guards, ICE agents, etc.

And if even one person on death row is found innocent that should stop all executions.
