Responses:

I'm saying that I don't believe our justice system is accurate/fair/etc. enough to be administering a death penalty at all. - Dano May 12, 11:11 5
- I'd certainly say there's reasons to support it. If a mother kills her husband and drowns her kids, then admits to doing it, - JaxSean May 12, 11:16 4
  - How many innocent people is it okay to kill via the death penalty? -- nm - Dano May 12, 11:22 1
    - It's a tough argument to think about, but I'm okay living in a society where there is a handful of mistakes like this. - Name Withheld By Request May 12, 11:29
  - But would abolishing it create more of a problem? - Guigue May 12, 11:20 1
    - I don't think that person deserves to live, personally. It's the system that needs to be fixed, not the punishment, imo. -- nm - JaxSean May 12, 11:24
The real-world application of it in today's world makes it harder to defend is my interpretation of Dano's comments. -- nm - Will Hunting May 12, 11:08
