It is hard to fathom. People who murder others have done harm to society that can never be undone. Why do I care what happens to a man who stalked and killed a woman/women/men?

We have to be better. We have to break the cycle.

I am not saying these criminals do not deserve punishment. However, it should not be cruel nor unusual per our constitution.

Also, by torturing/killings these individuals we are no better than them. We have come a long ways away from Hammurabi's Code. No need to return.
