I agree with you that the death penalty is wrong, but to be honest there are times when I believe that it should be used - especially when the victims are children. So many are been killed here, and the merciless criminals who do this are wickedly evil. Some times when evil is abounding the only solution is to stop the evil from spreading even if it means executing those who are intent on destroying others. I know that this may sound hard…I am seeing an out of control murder rate in Jamaica – the second highest in the world. Certainly the death penalty won’t solve the problem, I know, but it is hard to see the children ages one to seventeen… die violently. What should we do?
