I say he should get the death penalty so liberals can't set him free. I'm against the death penalty but in cases like this it is hard for me to justify. How about he is hung by his toe nails for the remainder of his time?

Why do you keep calling yourself a Christian??? Barna Group (1/2014): Support for Death Penalty Low Among Christians, Particularly Younger Members A new poll by the Barna Group found that only 40% of practicing Christians supported the death penalty, and support was even lower among younger Christians. According to the poll released on January 17, only 23% of practicing Christian "millennials" (i.e., those born between 1980 and 2000) agreed with the statement: "The government should have the option to execute the worst criminals." Without regard to their regular practice of their faith, only 42% of Christian baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and only 32% of millennials agreed with the use of the death penalty. Roxanne Stone, the vice president of publishing at Barna, said, "This parallels a growing trend in the pro-life conversation among Christians to include torture and the death penalty as well as abortion. For many younger Christians, the death penalty is not a political dividing point but a human rights issue." A 2011 Gallup poll also found Americans under 30 were more likely to oppose the death penalty than those over 30. The Barna Group poll surveyed 1,000 American adults and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points. (J. Merritt, " Poll: Younger Christians less supportive of death penalty," Religion News Service, January 18, 2014).
