Panther this is precisely why the death penalty should not be applied. Because people want vengeance and not justice. You say child killers should be "removed immediately" who next? murderers of pensioners? paedophiles? murderer rapists? killers of people indangerous driving incidents?

They have all ruined lives but vengeance solves nothing, it's a return to the witchunt, lynch mob mentality, maybe if the criminal justice system actually imposed sentences that were stuck to (which they already have the facility to do so) then maybe this incessant clamour for blood would cease.

Oh and Steeljack are you saying thr American justice system IS based on vengeance then rather than justice and deterrence? Figures. That's why it still puts to death minors.
