I know the arguments for and against capital punishment. I am swayed by them, on both sides. Where I am convinced, however, are the many recent sexual attacks and murders against children. I don't want to hear about these molesters'/murderers' problems--their home lives, their own molestations when they were younger, etc. What I want is for them to be executed. Torture is sometimes in my mind, too.
And don't give me that garbage about "If the state kills them, it will be just like the murderers." Oh, give me a break! There's a world of difference and, if it can't be seen, then we have no discussion. There are arguments, reasonable ones, against the death penalty. This isn't one of them.
But to attack kids...I have no compassion, none.
