Assignment #1

In all respect, some people have justifications and true beliefs for what they believe in and what they don’t. I believe that the death penalty is wrong no matter how you put it. Let’s say for instance, that a kidnapper hypothetically speaking, kidnapped, raped, and murdered your child, and the prosecution opted for the death penalty of that kidnapper and murderer, would you stand by it and let it happen? I wouldn’t because to me that is immoral. Two wrongs don’t make a right, why would you want to put the kidnappers’ mother in the same position that you were once in, knowing that your child was murdered, why would you want to cause the same heartache and pain to that mother, in which you felt once before. Killing the kidnapper is not going to give you justification for killing him, nor will it bring your child back. No matter what your true belief maybe, you’re committing the same crime in which he committed, “murder,” but you’re getting away with it, because you feel justified in your convictions. It doesn’t matter if “X” is true for you to believe that your true in your conviction for the death penalty, if you feel that the kidnapper and murderer killed your child.
