It's not "revenge" because the execution is carried out by the state following the laws that protect society. It's NOT the victims' family executing the killer.

I would consider the death penatly as murder the same if they put killers to death.

Murderers kill innocent victims. People who are executed for capital crimes are NOT innocent victims. They are killers, rapists, and pedophiles. BIG difference between the criminals and the victims.
I support the victims and their families.

Punish killers is sentence them life to share with volience there. They will suffer there.

A "life" sentence doesn't always mean they stay in prison for the rest of life. Sometimes it's only a few years. Do you think that is fair?

Death penatly is like put them sleep like we did with pets to save their suffer.
|
If you think the death penalty is the same thing as putting pets to sleep, then are you against putting pets to sleep?

It will never solve anything to satisfy myself to see killer to death or sentence to life, 23 years or whatever after what he/she did my son because I will never have my son back forever...

The reason for a death penalty is NOT to satisfy the family. The reason is to show society that murder, rape, pedophilia, and certain other crimes, are so serious that they are punished by death.

It would make me bitter if I do something out of revenge... It doesn´t solve anything but more hurt... I don´t want that.

The decision is not up to you. The courts decide the penalty, and the government executes it. It's not the families' decision.

Yes I aware it. I would say it´s rare for them to escape out of prison since they make more and more secure for the prisoners.

But it does happen.

You know the killers, sex crimes, etc have parents? You never know that our children could be one of them... I do not wish to say that your and my children could be one of them but how do you feel if they punish your son to death? I bet you would say that you prefer to see him sentence to life in prison. That´s exactly why I do not support death penatly... I rather to see my son stay in prison to life.

Of course no one "likes" the death penalty, and no one wants it to happen to a family member. But the families don't make that decision, just like the families of the victims don't have a choice when their loved one is murdered. The justice process is not in the hands of the victims. "Feelings" don't influence the decision.
