Well duh. My point is that while slinslin seemed to be poitning our countired lust for blood (which I say I have to agree with) I felt the need to point out there is also a group whose aspirations are far more humane.
Well, is it really more humane to hope some bottom dweller of the human species, who probably murders and tortures human beings for the fun of it, is kept alive instead of being killed for his own inhumane actions?
I remember seeing the movie "The Life of David Gale" which is about this small group of death penalty abolitionists who make it their lives' missions to ban the death penalty. It's a pretty interesting story, but I remember Kevin Spacey's comments he made on Charles Barkley's tv show, "Listen up" when he said something like "I guess I'm not really sure about whether or not to keep the death penalty. I mean, on one hand, it may be wrong to kill a person, no matter the circumstances, but then again, if I were the father or son of somebody who was murdered in cold blood, I might see it differently."
I don't really know. It's an interesting topic I suppose, though dire on account of its own issues. Anyway, all I'm saying is that it's really not necesarily humane to cheer for somebody to be killed, but it's not really humane to cheer for somebody to be saved either, given the circumstances.
