Human beings are animals, don't know why people make this distinction when we are one big family. They remove their distinction of being a human whenever they commit a barbaric act.

#2 it's a revenge based form of punishment, which in today's day and age is inherently barbaric.

It's not revenge, it's consequences. If it is layed out that you will die for certain crimes, what's the difference than life imprisonment for those crimes? Why should I pay for a murderer's mistakes for the entirety of their life?

#3 We know for a fact innocent men have been put to death for a murder they didn't commit. Where's your outrage for their murder?

The way the death penalty is used could use some tweaking, nothing is perfect. Why does someone get life for pleading guilty to a murder, plea deals, etc.? They did it, end of story don't make them a burden on society.
