So they were innocent?
Hopefully you're asking that rhetorically.
And didn't deserve a death penalty?
No, in my opinion, they certainly deserve to die. It's the one in one hundred, one thousand, whatever people who were at the wrong place at the wrong time and subsequently have been - or will be - executed erroneously for whom I don't, and not without some disgust, support killing these scumbags.
I certainly, Lazarus, believe that there are crimes that justify killing the perpetrator. I just can't justify the institution of it in state hands when errors can be made.
Ask me if I'd support the parent of any of those folks' victims, or a vigilante group, stomping them into a gritty, bloody foam.
How many people do you have to kill before you do?
It's not an issue of threshold; for me, it has to do with the possibility, even if minimal, of a mistake being made where the price is that high.
