Death Penalty is Justice

This is my response to Connecting With The Heart of Texas view that the death penalty is cruel. I would have to ask how would you penalize someone who murdered someone close to you for no good reason? Anyone who has ever got murdered has someone who loves and cares about them. How could the judge look into the victem's loved ones eyes and say you have to pay for this criminal to breath and eat and live. That is what happens if we sentence people to long terms up to life in prison. Why should somebody be able to kill and not have the consequense to be killed for their act? They should not be able to hurt someone and not get punished equally. I'm not saying every convicted murder should get the death penalty, that is for the judge to listen to the facts and decide if this criminal deserves the death penalty or not. Atleast the murder got the respect to have someone hear his views through his defense case. The victem on the other hand just fot their life taken with no defense or reason. Its not just the victems life the murder has taken it is somebody's son or daughter, family member, and friend. So I think for Texas to use the death penlty so much makes Texas a little better of a state. All states should join us and stop paying for these cruel murders to live.
