Thumbs down I am against the death penalty

I think the "a life for a life" mentality that the American government and society has should not exist. Executing Timothy McVeigh doesn't not justify anything or make it any better. His execution only added one more tragedy to the incident, and I don't think the families of the victims will actually feel "better" that the person who killed their loved one is made to cut short his life purposely. This is wrong and this practice should not continue.

P.S. I am sorry to sound like a political maniac but this really bothered me.
