i am Ok with criminals being executed.
innocent men being executed is a meaningless hypothetical.
anti-death penalty activists insist is MUST have happened, but cannot cite a case of an innocent man being executed.
nobody is executed "for not committing a crime", the best you could argue is that somebody MAY have been wrongly convicted, yet examples of this happening in a death penalty case remain elusive.
your argument is just a shabby appeal to emotion, and pointless "What If" sophistry.
I'm a vegan and an atheistic buddhist, that's not my reason for being against capital punishment. If you kill when there's another way, it puts your "chi" out of balance. But sometimes there's no other choice when your animal fight or flight takes over.
