i think once you unjustly take a life yours is forfeit to the people who cared about that life.
for example, if i kill your friend and you kill me, nobody has the right to complain. my people can mourn me, sure, but you were already mourning one of yours.
>this just spreads fear and death
really? because in this case the murderer was just killed in what is effectively cause and effect. there are lots of cultures where murderers get life in prison, and a lot of those cultures have a prison system exactly like ours.
the solution is simple.
>clean up the system
>kill hostile criminals
they've already killed people. they're gonna do it again. if i kill you because you killed my friend, i'm not gonna kill again because my friend can't die twice. someone else would have to kill again, which just results in a requirement for punishment. this is called 'tying up loose ends'.
