Neither will killing the murderer. I'm not seeing much in your point of view other than that you want to punish the killer with the eye for an eye mentality.

I think you have a somewhat compact view of all killers as savage beasts. You're sweeping psychopaths in one corner with people who may have killed in the heat of the moment and not only regret what they've done, but can function quite normal and healthy in society if they're released. Murder is an atrocious crime, but killing another person doesn't take as much malice as might seem.

I'm curious, what's your stance on innocents that end up on the electric chair? Do you consider it a necessary evil or a negligible minority?
