Even though I said "How can we discourage violence and murder by killing someone?" I am torn about the death penalty. In most cases I do not condone the killing of another person. A part of me says that there are just some crimes that cannot be forgiven, and some people who don't deserve it. Another part of me says that forgiveness can be given to anyone.

I don't know how I would feel if something were to happen to someone who was close to me. I know that there are families who have been victims of atrocities that speak out against the death penalty.

I don't like saying that I support the death penalty, because I don't feel that I do. But I don't go around saying "abolish it" because I don't feel that way either. I'm not sure. Human life is a tricky thing. The taking of a life must be taken seriously.
