    While I believe that child murderers, especially those who rape and torture children, have absolutely EARNED their death penalties, your suggestion that we torture them the same way is ridiculous. Who do we get to perform this punishment? Another torture-murderer we haven’t executed yet? Or is this a Department of Corrections position with specialized training?

    I don’t buy the argument that executing a heinous murderer lowers the government to their level, but torturing them first DEFINITELY does.

    That’s an immature position to take. Think harder.
