If someone purposely goes out of their way to kill many innocent (or fairly innocent) civilian people, do they deserve really deserve to be eating, sleeping, getting meds off tax payers dime?
I could see extremely limited it, if that's what people wish, but at minimum for the super extreme cases I'd be all for it.
Also I strongly disagree with the US Supreme Court ruling that said giving a step father the death penalty for raping his 8 or 9 year old step daughter was a cruel and unusual punishment...
The crime was a cruel and unusual punishment... so I strongly believe the death penalty for very young child molesters and those that purposely killed muliple fairly innocent people, at minimum.
Edit: but given the people have been wrongly punished at times, the standard of proof might need to be high, but if they can clearly prove it then it should be allowed.
