However, it is my opinion that such a system is impossible. That's just another line of reasoning that leads to my same position which is the death penalty should not exist at all. I wonder if that guy ever wondered what if one of the 20 to 30 was my brother, or my wife, or my best friend etc. How would he feel about his "doesn't constitute a broken system" comment then?
