You mean the person you're responding to misrepresented your statement? I, for one, am shocked. As for the moral issue question, I doubt many people would have many (any) qualms about executing a person like Richard Ramirez or some other murderer/sadist. I think the morality issue comes into play by state sanctioning of such killing. Personally, I have zero issue with monstrous person being executed, but the chance of killing an innocent person is an issue for me. Also, as I said, I think making someone rot away in a cell until the expire is a far worse punishment. I doubt any of us can even fathom being incarcerated for 50+ years.
