All beings have the right to defend themselves.
If capitol punishment does not deter other criminals, at least it will permanantly deter THAT criminal. I also wish to point out that both Biblical quotations are consistantly taken out of context, misinterpreted and misused. The quote is more a reference to the Judeo-Christian teachings that anyone calling for Divine judgement of another person must be prepared to be measured by Heaven with the same standards. Killing eachother is wrong. People today are continuealy complainin abotu cheaper punishments and then say we dont need capital punishment and more life in prison.
