To Kill a Killer
To Kill a Killer By: Anonymous TO KILL A KILLER A few of my friends and I once saw a bumper sticker that questioned, "Why do we kill people who kill people, to show that killing people is wrong?"

The death penalty is not an effective way to punish a criminal. Even states that use the death penalty se...
