I am personally very much against the death penalty. I do not agree with some of the statements in the below cited article by the Manhattan Institute.
However, there are exceptions and ways to handle capital punishment as I explained in my 2014 blog post. I repeat here a quote from this blog post:
"Recently, I discovered this quote by Alphonse Karr (he is famous for this quote: “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”):
“Si l'on veut abolir la peine de mort en ce cas, que MM. les assassins commencent: qu'ils ne tuent pas, on ne les tuera pas.
(If one wants to abolish the death penalty in this case, Messrs. murderers should take the first step: they do not kill, we will not kill them.” (Source)"
This horrific mass murderer may very well qualify for capital punishment!
