Well, of course, you'd protect yourself by any means possible, meaning, in the moment , possibly killing yourself.
But thats kinda my point. I suggest most on the death row probably deserve to be there, but, I suggest, some are no different than you or I. In saying that, in that moment that they commited their 'act'....they were lost to the moment. As a whole, again, if there is one guy not guilty, one guy that was lost to a moment, thats reason enuff against the death penalty.
You cannot kill members of society for killing members of society and expect members of that society to concur with relenting power to a gov't above the 'law'. This is supposedly a govt. for the people, by the people....we only reach agreement with equals, when govt' has power over you , the death penalty....it perpetuates murder as a punishment for members of society against members of society.
