<<How can I fault them for that?>>

In your home, it's do or YOU die.
In the courts, it's do and HE dies.
A big difference, since the murderer is restrained.

Put it another way......

The bad guy threatens and injures your family.
You subdue him, tie him up, and then slit his throat.
You say fair enough ? The courts would say you're a murderer, too.

So you don't slit his throat. You hand him over to the courts and they do the dirty work.
Certainly pre-meditated. What's the difference ?
If justice is revenge, it has been served.
That is the purpose of capital punishment - to enable the wronged to have their revenge.

Anyway, regarding "Prolife" your position (probably pro-capital punishment) is 100% consistent with the opinions of the overt "pro-lifers" I know.
