The death penalty encourages violence? You can't actually believe that can you? I can just see it now: So John what do you think about the death penalty? John: It makes me mad and it makes me violent. If you believe that the Death penalty has anything to do with violence then you are far beyond help. You would be more accurate if you would blame the media in general. The media sells fear. I have never heard anyone blame the death penalty for encouraging violence, this is definately a first for me.
