All executions should be public.
If the citizens of a state endorse death as punishment, they should be made to watch thier decision.
If people were forced to watch executions one of two things were occur;
A. they'd do away with it entirely.
*or*
B. they'd make sure more of those who truly deserved it, got it.
Personally after having worked in Corrections, it's now my belief that there are 3 things that seperate MANKIND from the lower animals. (besides our extendable thumb)
1. We protect and care for our sick and wounded.
2. We protect and care for our old and infirmed.
3. We protect and care for our young.
Anyone who willfully, with malice and forethought violates these most basic precepts of mankind, gives up the entitlement to be treated as part of MANKIND and should be put down as would any dangerous animal that attacks people.
But hey! that'a just my opinion
