As I said, I like the death penalty less as a punishment and more as a means of removing undesirable filth from our society. They don't deserve to live, and to keep them alive requires me paying for it, which I don't want to do. Therefore, justice is served, and at the same time, tax dollars are saved. If it worked the way it should.
Of course, the bleeding heart factions have made the process into one that takes decades and tremendous costs. Then those same people point out that the costs are so prohibitive, when that's really their whole intent in the first place. One appeal, then to the gallows they go.
