I didn't say I'm against it, I just don't think it's exactly the best solution to let criminals understand just why they were wrong. Imho, the best punishment is to let them know how much their victims suffered, but most people would disagree with me if I say the best punishment is putting them in an isolation cell, give them one meal a day of crap food, a few torture sessions throughout the week in the first few months, and let him rot in there until he dies. That, and I have a sick and twisted logic
However, I know most people would disagree with me, so death penalty is the only other solution, although it doesn't really teach the criminal a lesson. It just ends their suffering like that, no trouble to anyone.
EDIT: But this is only for people who committed intolerable crimes, like the ones I mentioned in the post you quoted, not neccessarily for the example we've been talking about.
