I think its less motivated by vengeance than most think.
Ignoring opinions in regards to the propriety of the Death Penalty one way or the other, I think from the standpoint of a victim's family, every second that their relative's murderer lived, the very life he denied and arbitrarily ended of someone they loved would be an insufferable offense.
Unless you believe in forgiveness and redemption, which no one here does of course, every knows theres no religious posters here.
