I can sort of see the revenge angle if you're a family member of someone who was a victim, but as outsiders, what do you care if someone pays with their life or spends the rest of their life in jail? So if that's the case, I see no justification to kill people when it costs more, potentially kills innocent people, and can be botched so bad the condemned man suffers for two hours.
