Honestly, I wasn't playing dumb in that post above. I had forgotten that the death penalty is still claimed by some to serve as a deterrent.
In my own mind, the death penalty is nothing more than institutionalized revenge. It's debatable whether or not revenge is an acceptable course of action, but rationalizing the death penalty as a deterrent ranks right up there with denying global warming or evolution as false-flag arguments which conceal other motivations.
