Moral Views

I believe that it is right to execute murderers only under one condition; what they have done must be extremely unacceptable. Other then that, they should be given a life sentence in prison. I have a great example of someone who should have gotten the death penalty: a man at my church, his brother's children were playing with some white kids from around the block. They were laughing and having a great time. One of the white children wanted to play with a certain toy and the black boy wasn't finished playing. So the white boy went back and told his father and his father took his gun with him and shot the black boy's father. Instead of trying to solve it like adults, the man felt that he had to be the big and bad one to shoot when apparently he got the wrong end of the story. He received fourty years in jail, but those yeaars don't take the pain away from the family that was left behind til this day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stories like that where the murderer leaves behind a devastated family is where they need to get the death penalty. Gang members and drug dealers who kill shouldn't get the death penalty because they choose to live the life they paved for themselves and jail is part of that life style.
