Do you agree with the death penalty? Why or why not?

For capital crimes? Absolutely! Stop being secretive about it. Public hangings or firing squads should be reinstated. Consequences for horrid acts must be front and center if we hope for any kind of deterrence. Why should only the result of a heinous criminal act be allowed to be seen by the public and not the consequences being meted out to the criminals that the justice system had found responsible for it?
