The main argument isn't really "good people shouldn't kill bad people", it's "there's too many mistakes". It almost seems like everyone, except extreme pacifists and hipsters likes the idea of "a life for a life". I don't know why, what's so good about it? The victim is still dead, and somebody else's mother is crying. If I take ten dollars from you, and give you ten dollars back, you are where you were before I stole from you. If I take your life, and you take mine, we've both lost. How does the death penalty make any sense?

Yes but You have no right to take my life to begin with. And if you display an utter disregard of someones else's life you are a danger in prison to other inmates that have to live with you. And they deserve protection while serving their sentence.

it doesn't it's counterproductive in comparison to imprisonment as a deterrent and far too merciful . they should be put to work to pay for their stay and not let out when ever the crime would have warranted the death penalty.

It doesn't make any sense and I don't think it's popular
