The death penalty is never justified

Unfortunately, now offenders still committing lots of crimes, and there are no effective way to turn events around. The fact is majority offenders commit crimes again after years spending in cell: murders butcher people again and again, thief steals money and properties.

In this situation, personally, I am for death penalty. It is obvious to everyone death penalty isn't for manslaughter or violent crime. Then I speak about death penalty I mean heinous crimes such as acts of terrorism, statutory rapes, bloodbath, not as violent as speeding or shoplifting. There are several other conditions to impose the death. First one is existence of irrefutable proofs of guilt. And second – an offender should have right to appeal against the court's sentence.

The main argument against death penalty is it's a God's decision: kill and give a life. It's a bit hypocritical position, 'cause everybody eats meat, and God gave life to the cow. What about vegetarians? Mmm... God gave a life to wheat, why did you kill and eat it?
