I believe that death penalty can be used under legitamate circumstances. Just because law is about that is the "best option" for all impacted INCLUDING the terrorist, doesn't necessarily imply that rotting in prison is a better option than death. Fulfilling a life is much better than lengthening a life without connection to society and left abandoned. I only think this is justified under EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES. One because terrorists are in an extreme mentality. It's not a matter of "Im just gonna kill hundreds of people today". There is a definite objective to their actions and a reason why they've taken it to such an extent to say "These are my beliefs and I want take my beliefs to control people based on my stance" it's a form of vengeance and retaliation in a way, overall for EXREME terrorist, there is NO INCENTIVE TO NEGOTIATE UNLESS THEIR AIM IS MET, they've killed people over it! Until you meet the goal of this people (which is not therapy and rotting in prison) there is no willingness to compromise and they are desperate for their actions to be met. Essentially it is an unrealistic standard to assume rehabilitation is wanted and remorse is felt. The only way to rehabilitate yourself is to realize your actions first, which is remorse. Which is the majority of cases isn't felt and is set to an unrealistic level. For example Ted Bundy was released on parole and still killed, risks like that shouldnt be taken when the preservation of lives is being taken. Pshycologically some people cannot be rehabilitated and it's better than letting them live their life TO ROT AND THEN JUST EVENTUALLY DIE. It's not a matter of either or dychotomy. Just because you are allowed to live and don't receive death penalty doesn't mean you automatically rehabilitate yourself and want to have connection when you've proved such a desperate mindset. Rehabilitation and living aren't compatible therefore it is false psychotomy.

Life in prison = no rehabilitation and eventual death, letting them rot in misery for no willingness to negotiate

Death penalty= no rehabilitation but atleast not leaving them to rot

So I don't see how the first one is somehow supposedly the best option, death is a harsh punishment but just based on the meaning of it doesn't mean it isn't the best option.

All in all I highly respect all opinions wholeheartedly. Being only 13 I don't know too much about capital punishment and the exact details of what happened although I was a witness. I never kept up to date on events so I lack judgement in that. Yet this is my perception of capital punishment in general, only used when legitamate and the only option under justifiable circumstances.
