That's an age old question, eh? One I doubt will ever be solved simply. I'm sure it all depends on one's definition of "wrong" and "right."
Do I think its "right" to execute him? I don't think I'm a fit judge, but I do think if people of his ilk don't warrant the death penalty, then no one does. I know plenty of people think no one does...I'm not so sure about that. I think any and all consequences are called for depending on the nature and severity of the crime and the likelihood of repeat offense.
I just don't jump around and wave my flag (or someone else's burning flag) over it being carried out. Its a grave and solemn human event, not a Nascar rally.
