Good Morning Directanywhere.
I am certainly not 'pro human life' or 'antiviolence' as such. In fact shooting to disarm for example, may only lead to more danger. I do think, however that it is completely different to say, kill in self defence than to condone the death penalty.
I do not have enough faith in the legal system nor human nature to believe that a society that puts people to death is benefited anymore than one who does not. Quite the opposite in my view.
My comment to you was more meant to highlight; should one be responsible (which you are if you believe in the death penalty and it is applied, even in some instances) for taking a life, then there are consequences far beyond our man made laws. Maybe compassion is called for, because afterall you are only adding to the suffering already caused.
