Regarding the subject of execution in general, someone has to say "no" to violence. To lead, to be a role model. The sense of "duty" to the victim, and a sense of revenge on the part of victims' relatives, in my view, should not be the dominant decider for execution. There are many culpable faults for violent crime. I agree with you. One cannot ignore the childhood damage done to a criminal. But also why is America so obsessed with The American Gun? "every caller will be answered with a gun" reads door notices in a city. Why do people have gun collections in their homes? Is not there a human right to live in a city where guns in homes are prohibited?? Very few civilians in Europe have guns in their homes. People don't want the bloody things. And our crime rates reflect our downscaling of violence. I get the impression that guns are such a power symbol in American films, because these films reflect an extremely violent society. If America down scales its love of guns and violence it will not need execution as its kill-movie entertainment. A nice juicy execution. They love it. The Chair with its built in cooker, The Gas Chamber, like something out of the Holocaust, Lethal Injection, where burning chemicals are injected without adequate sedation. At least the Romans gave Gladiators a chance to fight back and win their freedom. The Americans, no. They like their Public Torture Entertainment, to kill guaranteed.
