Last time I looked a majority of Brits support the death penalty. Which personally I've always found quite disturbing considering all the problems with it.

But 5 mins on any subreddit and you have people frothing at the mouth to hang every criminal.

Which if even more disturbing.

So what do you think?

What moral authority does society have to say that killing is wrong, if it does it itself? Justice needs to have higher standards than the people it's passing judgement on.
