Default Re: Drug Smuggler to be Hanged at 11

I just think that the only time a death sentence is possibly understandable, in my mind,is if it is not possible for that person to be rehabilitated or reformed. For example someone like Charles Manson, basically a complete sociopath. Plus if you want to punnish someone for ruining lives, keep them alive in prison with no privelages. After all once that's person's dead they're not here to be punnished or to face the concequences of their actions, where as the victims [drug users and their families] are still here having to live with the concequences. I guess i just don't believe in an eye for an eye, that shouldn't be our decision to make.
