And other thoughts.
People claim that the death penalty only continues the cycle of violence.
Unless that removal makes other people want to see if they can be on the news as a death penalty candidate. I agree with the bleeding hearts in that having to enforce a death penalty means that the society has a problem. However it is not that the death penalty is the problem, but something in society is broken, and that is fuel for a whole new comment section. The allowing of the media circus at an execution only serves to degrade the nation and threatens to turn the sad disposal of a rabid dog into a slasher show, another step towards the cheapening of life. Lastly, and I know that some people will construe this as anti-death penalty, but I state it to show that I know the system is not pristine.
