In addition to that, I feel that by being in favour of capital punishment, you allow those that perpetrate heinous crimes to imprint their sadistic nature upon you. As a law abiding citizen, I take no pleasure in the death and suffering of another person, so why would I want to allow some murdering scum the ability to change that?

If you took it as condescending, please know that is was not meant in that way. I was interested in you views.
From you posts it appeared you were anti-death penalty and anti-life sentence being "life". If I miss understood you, then please accept my apology.
I too am anti-death penalty, but I would be disingenuous if i didn't say I struggle with it when it comes to the crimes mentioned in the OP. It is easy to say that in that case capital punishment is justified.
