Death Penalty

Are murder sentences fair

I personal do not like murders but who does . I'am guessing no one , but i do not think they should be put to death for what they did . I think that its just horrible for the families to have to go through. For one its horrible that one family had to loose a loved one , why would you want to see the other family suffer for a love one , its not there fought it happen. I believe when a murder a happens that the person is very mental unstable and they have no idea what they are doing at the time. Sure they know they are killing someone but think about ? What kinda person does it take to murder another? Well i would say it is someone you is very unstable mental emotional and everything else chemical imbalanced and so on. I don't think a person that goes out and kills someone can just have everything going for have a great mind and very strong mental . Even people in law and doctors believe that someone who murders someone , has had something happen to them in there life that was very horrible for hem that they couldn't handle . Plus I always say to wrongs don't make a right .I think the murder should have to live with what they done you have all these victims families saying kill him, but would you think it would be better if you had him sentence to life in prison with out parole. First off he would have to live with what he done , and killing him would not bring you loved one back. Also so the killer can either suffer for what he done and he can have a chance to make peace with his self for what he or she has done . Plus for the believers of Christ don't yo think god said forgive the person who did the bad things to hurt you .So how is killing him or her forgiving . You are just doing the same thing he or she did. So what makes you any better than he was .. You go and watch his or her execution ,so you are just as guilty as he was , you were basically involved in putting someone to death. Also for those who have had a loved one murder I think that the persons family should have to visit that person in prison at least once so you can get closer for your lost , and maybe the forgiving process can start. Also you can maybe get some answer , and get to know this person so you can know why he or she did it in the first place . So these are my thoughts on why we should not have the death penalty. I think its wrong and nothing gets solved but another murder. Thank you for your time . I hope you can understand what I'm saying and say no to the death penalty
