Discriminating the death penalty?

I have read what you all have to say. And understand that we all have our own opinions on this hot topic.
Just my opinion>> hell yes I would pull the switch in a heart beat.

My sister-in-law was murdered some 20+ years ago.
This man (animal) stole her live. He took her ,used her and murdered her and threw her body away as of she was rubbish.

Not only did he take her life away from us. He stole some of my childhood freedom. What he did effected all of us, we where limited to where we went who we went with. As I grew up it affected my children as well. Their childhood freedom was limited to where they went and with whom.

Every time we hear of a murder we have to wonder if this was the same man? Was another innocent life taken by this same animal?
Two weeks ago it was reported in our papers that another innocent was taken. Now they are trying hard to connect the two murders together.
So once again my sister-in-laws photo was flashed on all the TV station in every paper that was in print.

There where and still is mixed emotions on this.
1 Happy that the, may have finally caught the man that did this.
2 sad that my brother (rip) will never have closer
3 anger. That if this was the same man then this innocent girl would still be alive.

I know there is a lot of what if”s
What if he hadn’t done it what would she be doing now?
What if he had been caught would other have died under his hand?
What if he had been caught and was free now would he do it again?

Many times I hear people say … forgive and forget.
Well NO... I won’t ever forgive him for taking her life stealing our freedom
I won’t forget what he’s done how he changed our life’s.

Will it make me a better or a lessor person if he caught and is put to death? Who can say…?

But if I had the chance to pull that switch or put that needle in to him would I ?
YES!! Would it make me feel better? Yes and NO as we cant change the past.
But would I rest easier knowing that he is not around to take another innocent life.
Then the answer would be Yes.

I could justify his death but knowing that he could no longer take another innocent life.
Even though that I have been effected by this man. Not even I can say is it right or wrong to take another life

An eye for an eye? right or wrong.
No one can really answer that question.

Just my thoughts on this.
