Again, I don't think taking some one's life is acceptable. If someone does that, they must face the punishment. That is being locked away from society for the rest of their lives. I'm not concerned with the cruel and unusual punishment aspect of the argument. And those arguments don't make it acceptable to kill someone for their crimes. I don't know if it society's job to punish the crime itself, but it is to make sure they are locked away from the rest of us. And if they are kept with lesser criminals and they harm them too, they should be locked away 23 hours a day, that is their own fault. If they are locked up with other killers, then it is survival of the fittest, and they are getting a better deal then whoever it is that they killed in the first place.
