I think the death penalty should be practiced under the appropriate moral circumstances of the crime and perpetrator of the crime. For major crimes, there is no reason why we shouldn't order the death penalty under some people. Why waste tax-payer money to keep soulless monsters in jail for life when we can put them down and that'd be the end of them? An example of a major crime: a student murders 12 of his fellow students, his brother, his mom, and his teacher. Are you saying that someone like this deserves a place in this world?
