I believe that the US is the only developed country that still has capital punishment. The rest of the world is laughing at us, but not because we're wusses, rather the opposite.
When you think of garbage, think of Hakeem!

In the case of this movie, I felt incredibly sorry for Del, but then again, we didn't really learn much about his crime. He was set up to be a sympathetic character.
However, if someone killed someone I love I would go to watch them get BBQ'd and be happy that they were getting what they deserve - botched or not.
That's my personal opinion. -

Same.
Its the type of thing that the OP will just not understand so there is no point even arguing it.
I can't say I would be ok sitting and watching an actual execution, especially only a few feet away but I would be
very satisfied
to know it was done and that my loved ones' killer was done. And not sitting around in some prison, reading books, watching movies, making friends, eating meals or having any of the luxuries that my deceased loved one was robbed of.
And no one wold need to waste their time and effort feeling sorry for me. -

I am pro death penalty for the most heinous crimes but I agree that I find something disturbing about people watching an execution, especially an electrocution. It's one of the harshest forms of execution short of being drawn and quartered. While I agree with many of your assertions, I can understand how a family who lost a loved one to murder could watch an execution. It may be sickening and ultimately give no satisfaction, but losing a loved one is so painful that it's easy to delude oneself into believing watching an execution will give them some satisfaction.
You bemoan the immorality of the death penalty but you seem to demonstrate a very limited understanding of the prison system in America. America incarcerates more people than any nation on earth. Prisons are breeding grounds for the formation of gangs, if they didn't exist already. People are put in an environment where their lives may be ended any day and you somehow think this is more humane than the death penalty? I'm no liberal but there is something profoundly wrong about the prison industrial complex in America.
There are many problems with the "justice system," but believe the death penalty is among the least of our problems in America. We incarcerate too many people, often for poor reasons, and the punishment often is not commensurate with the crime: people get a slap on the wrist for murder but are given decades for drug convictions. The savages who engage in human trafficking rarely get put behind bars; and when they do their sentence is laughable. On that note, I am a firm supporter of sending human traffickers to death camps or some place worse.
