I would have to go with yes on this one. I think the punishment should fit the crime. If someone murders someone out of hate(jealousy) then they deserve it. All of you that have said no, do you have kids? I can say right now, if someone were to hurt my kids I would want them dead. All of the sexual predators, what about them? Hear again think about your wives, mothers, fathers, husbands, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. Age dont matter, color, gender. These are a few reasons yes.
