Would death really help?

An awful lot of people feel frustrated that they have no option in this case but to heap verbal abuse on this killer.
They'd love to see BTK killer Dennis Rader executed.
But would that really help enough?
Rader, who killed whole families, was sentenced to life in prison just minutes ago.

Would Dennis Rader's death bring back ANY of those whom he confessed to killing? NO!

So, in that regard, place photos of the victims in his cell and let that remind him each waking moment of the tragedy that he has caused others.

Second, it is not granted to another human (in Christian faith) the authority to determine whether another human shall live or die. That right is for God and God alone.

This might be a bad move. Apparently, he made his own gallery of photos for his pornographic pleasure. Such a thing would very likely backfire.

Hm. Interesting take on the situation, considering how strong Christian support for capital punishment has been for centuries.
