The killing of one person as punishment for killing another seems to be unfair when written on paper. However, when looked at from the victim's point of view, it is the only fair punishment. When I imagine myself in such situation, I see the only just punishment is to have the killer put to death. I support the death penalty and I dare to say that the death penalty could be seen as one of the ways for a better society.
             In my opinion a brutal criminal should not be able to enjoy life - at all. It is not fair with the victim who suffered and died or with the victim's family who no longer has their beloved one with them to know that the criminal is still alive having a decent time in prison. I strongly believe that, not only does the use of the death penalty keep convicts from committing other crimes it also gives emotional closure for the families who were offended. Sometimes the only way to end the continuing pain of a crime committed against you or someone you know, is to end the life of the person who committed that crime. Today, we look at each other to see what is acceptable and what is not. This same mentality is also used with people in regard to crime. If one man sees another jailed for committing a crime, he will think twice before committing that same crime. The death penalty has an even greater effect on stopping people from breaking the law. When someone's life is argued over to decide if it will be ended or not, rather than how much jail time is given, this is the worst possible punishment that can be given, and with that I add "Capital punishment for proven premeditated murder is...not immoral; it is not even a necessary evil; it is a moral necessity, demanded by justice."
