at will drive any man to kill if it becomes that extreme. Capital Punishment supporters claim that the Death Penalty is no different than a man killing in self-defense, a police officer killing an armed criminal, or a soldier killing in war. In my opinion, there is a great difference there. The three examples given above our situations where the danger posed by the criminal is in the present moment. At any given moment the criminal could still harm someone. So it is justified there. But when a criminal is locked up for life, he can no longer harm anyone else so the need for his death is then gone....
