34. You are missing part of the point about the death penalty.

Regardless of how horrific the crime, killing the perpetrators makes all of us murderers. It diminishes the value of human life in our society, and sets a very bad example for the more impressionable members of our society. Unless you agree that its a good thing to kill if you kill "bad" people, and if you do agree with that, you need to realize that every individual has a different definition of "bad".
