WHOAHOHO! Slow down a moment.
How did society without capital punishment (AKA 21st Century society :P) become Anarchy?
A life is a life Ivan, and killing is killing regardless of the circumstances. I've never said murder should go unpunished, but killing a murderer is still taking a life. We haven't even addressed yet, the fact that perhaps the man convicted was innocent. What then? If he's already dead, you've just killed an innocent man and there's nothing to do about it.
