Old Testament "eye for an eye" justification does not cut it.

Why just Christian values. How many were killed by Islamics or Buddists?
We are not the only group that kills. All others do. And by letting criminals out rather that kill them are we not helping them kill their next victim? Do the crime, do the time. Kill someone and get killed yourself. That's fair. Whats not fair is my state letting them live for so long after being convicted. 15-20 years should be shortened to 5 years max.
