20% is a lot. All the families that were hurt by a terrorist attack, or even some attack, can have some relief by revenge. It makes sense.

It's not necessarily just about wanting to see someone executed. Which is worse:

- Executing people in a way that makes us not have to think about it as a society, or only think about it in passing

- Executing people in our faces, so we have to think about it

Personally I find the first option gross. "Out of sight, out of mind"--you know what I mean?

I’m not American and I don’t support the death penalty.

That said…

If you’re going to do this, it absolutely should be a public event. If This is what a society does, the society have to own that imho. Anyone supporting it should be required to watch one first.

How can it be ok to do it but only secretly in a dark corner and not let anyone see?

Everyone who is for the death penalty should be legally obligated to watch every single execution.

I'd like to see the rape gangs in the UK executed. As there were multiple, similar cases ran by different groups, I think it would deter the next group of rape gangs.
