What are your thoughts on capital punishment?

Let me know, if you're pro or against death penalty and why.

I am on the fence.

I think certain crimes might be warranted for the death penalty but I don't really know that it is ethical or that eye for an eye is really a true solution.

As a person who has been raped and abused...it is sometimes hard not to wish those people were dead.

@JaggedLittlePill I suppose it's always easier for people who have not been through traumatic experiences to voice their opinion because in the end, they do base their point of view on theories, whereas someone who has been a victim of the crime, has a more real opinion due to what they've been thorough. Death Penalty is something that always has and always will start up discussions and controversy and I think that the fact we're not all agreeing on one approach is actually good, as it shows we're still growing as human beings and questions things that do or do not feel right
