This was the news heading of an article that I read about a sniper who was sentenced to death. I stronlgy disagree with the death penatly, and think that it is inhumane and disgusting. Thank goodness we don't live in a country that punishes murder by committing murder. The description of how they executed this man makes me sick. It puts them on the same level as him if they just go and kill him too. In my opinion, I feel like the death penalty is just an easy way out. If someone commits a crime they should have to suffer in jail for it, not die. Not to mention it costs more to kill someone in jail than to keep them there. This truly disgusts me and I hope that soon the remaing States with the death penatly will move away from that Western mentality and realize how truly inhumane this is!
