21. isn't it a little hypocritical

to KILL someone as punishment for them killing???

There is a big difference between killing another person while fighting to save your life, and premeditated murder, by lethal injection, hanging, electric chair- or what have you.

Kind of like slapping your kids around while shouting "I TOLD YOU NOT TO HIT!!!"

While ending someones life may be much more 'humane' for some folks- (living with your guilt, every day of your life, which DOES happen to some,) is often far more painful than having your life ended.
