Reply To: Capital Punishment

“This is a mass murderer, and the only way to get rid of the vermin that commit such atrocities, is to take them out of this world. Immediately. Our enemies should see this is the result when they are caught, that they are not left alive to be bargaining chips for Americans who are captured by them.”

Once they are killed, a la Yassin and Rantisi, kidnapping an Israeli for a hostage / prisoner exchange becomes pointless.

“I am actually not fond of the idea of capital punishment, but I am also not so naive as to believe people who commit such horrific deeds deserve to live. The people they murdered also had lives. These remorseless monsters cannot be rehabilitated, and justice demands that they pay with their own lives for the ones they took. Unfortunately they can only die once. I can live with that. I certainly do not want my tax dollars spent on their incarceration. I am not a violent person by any means. But I am tired of tiptoeing around terrorists, not calling a spade a spade, and allowing them to literally get away with murder. Daniel Pearl’s blood cries out for justice, and now so do all the victims in Boston, in the Twin Towers, and in E”Y.”

I can’t (and don’t) disagree with that at all.

My question is about the age of legally executing a perpetrator of such acts.
