Death penalty will not work

 FOR those who are supporting the death penalty, think again. 

It will never solve any problem that the country faces today. 

It never solved any crime of murder in countries that practice it, especially in the United States. 

This land of a 1000 tribe is unique. 

We cannot borrow an idea from outside and say it will work for us. 

This may cause further reprisals by the relatives of those who are put to death. 

The hangman or the one who kills will always have blood on their hands.
