- Yeah, actually.
No, they don't have the right to kill, but why does the state, then?
I said it earlier in the thread: an eye for an eye will leave us all blind.
I don't feel killing a murderer solves anything. It just gives the state a sense of power over the lives of its citizens, more than it's entitled. Jail is not a privilege, it's a punishment. Not every person who's killed someone is a horrible, thoughtless person fulfilling a blood-lust. I don't think it's right for the state to decide who should die, no matter what they've done. It often becomes a spectacle, and a spectacle of a death is nothing I agree with.
