Here we go again . All the usual suspects coming out of the woodwork , braying for blood/revenge in the name of justice . Even the normally cheery Pixie reckons ''hanging is great '' .
As has been pointed out capital punishment doesn't reduce crime rates . Look at the US where inmates sit on death row for years while the lawyers make a killing on appeals . Outside , the violence and murder continue . So is it simply a case of an eye for an eye that makes execution appealing ?
To those who wish to see state sanctioned killings . Would you pull the trigger/push the button / cast the first stone ? I doubt it , but you'd be happy to pay a contractor to do it for you . Sounds awfully like Carl Williams to me .
