No act that any person can ever do, will justify death sentence so a big NO.

So taking another persons life for no reason or killing a child for no reason wouldnt justify the same being done to you??.

And yes in case anyone was wondering im all for the death penality as i believe if someone takes innocent lifes they dont deserve to have their own..

Absolutely not. I believe that no one, not the state or an individual, has the right to decide a persons right to live or die. It's barbaric and medieval and focuses on some kind of "revenge" aspect of the legal system, when a legal system shouldn't enact revenge on criminals, but rather justice.

What would you consider justice for someone like Pol Pot?
