If someone takes another person's life on purpose (murder) they should get the Death Penalty and NOT life in prison; because it's not fair that we pay our tax money to feed them and keep them alive. It also should NOT matter if the inmate has psychological disorders (insanity, PTSD, schizophrenia, etc) or is incompetent. We should give ALL violent criminals (James Holmes, Eddie Ray Routh, etc) and terrorists (Zacarias Moussaoui, Ted Kaczynski, etc) the Death Penalty and NOT life in prison. Life in prison is NOT a harsher sentence. All 50 states should enforce the Death Penalty and use all 6 methods (Electric Chair, Beheading, Hanging, Lethal Injection, Gas Chamber, and Firing Squad). If we use the Death Penalty MORE often crime rates will Decrease.
