What is your view on the death penalty

The frequent injustices that are shown to have been carried out years after the crime has been committed, the corruption of powerful people and the imbalance of the groups of people picked out to be subjected to capital punishment leads me to the conclusion that it is a terrible way for a state to behave.

Some crimes are so heinous that they make me very angry, but justice is dispassionate and balances punishment and mercy and is not vengeful and passionate. The latter leads to anarchy.
