Death sentence..., What happens to those who kill killers? Options

[Rikkiismyname]

OK well for those who don't know, When some one is sentenced to the death sentence there has to be at least one person there to kill the Person on death. But if the person being killed is being killed because he killed soem one, shouldn't the person killing the murderer be put to death. And if that happens we will end up killing each other out of existance untill only one person is alive then he had to kill himself. Doesn't that seem a bit odd?


Ok just toclear things up. I don't mean that there shouldn't be a death sentence.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Religious or not, everyone should hold that standard. If you hit someone, they have the right to hit you back. If you take something from someone, they should have the right to take something of yours. But since you kill someone, they cant be there to kill you back, so they have a representative. That person acts on there behalf and administers the justice they and their families deserve. Sounds kinda like the American government doesnt it? Everyone has the right to life, and when you infringe on someones rights, ur rights should be infringed on. Somebody once said "My right to swing my fist ends where another mans nose begins." If somebody starts kickin ur ass, you have every right to kick their ass back. If you're being attacked on the streets and you feel your life is threatened, you kill them, you can plead self defense. If you get killed, the executioner acts like the lawyer, pleading self defense and getting justice. Im all for the death penalty.
