If you are talking about the teen who killed four people while driving drunk, yes, execute him and get it over with before his perception of privilege leads him to do it again.
Then let's expand that to people high on drugs, and the drug dealers that sell junkies the drugs they use to overdose.

Well then, we better start prosecuting people who sell guns to people who use them in violent crimes.
Depends on how you define "murder". If your daughter is grabbed, gang raped by 5 men, and you track down those 5 men and kill them, should you be put to death?
Not sure how the GOP thinks. If the girl becomes pregnant, many on the right will say she "liked it" and should have the baby, which of course, is a "gift" from God.

The same reason we don't prosecute manufacturers who make drugs when the drugs are misused.
Like to go on record supporting an expansion of the death penalty to include any and all convicted of taking life unlawfully. Be it drunk driving, fights, what have you. If you take another's life, to have real justice you should forfeit your's. Anything else ignores the fact that someone is dead now because of your unlawful actions. It being an accident doesn't enter into it, they're still dead, and you're still alive. Until you're dead too there is no justice.

And there is no justice when throngs of wrongfully convicted people end up dead in the process.

The baby is a gift from God. However if the girl aborts during the first trimester everyone would find that at least understandable. It's when she decides to "like it" until a week before it's born then opts for abortion that the issue becomes confused.
How does killing this person make the situation better?

Creates a genuine disincentive to murder if you know that you absolutely positively will be executed if convicted. As it is now there's so many gradations of murder that you may only spend a few years in prison in some instances. Or if rich enough none whatsoever... If we executed every murderer regardless of circumstance, as with drunk driving, maybe the Couch kid and the 'chronic repeat offenders' with 80+ DUI arrests would think twice about driving intoxicated. And maybe the ones who crash and murder other people wouldn't.
How does society benefit from keeping dangerous people on the road? An executed murderer is no longer a threat to anyone. Why keep them alive and risk innocent people?
I'll stop believing in the efficacy of the death penalty when shown proof that an executed criminal has returned to kill again.

I'll start believing when shown proof that a person wrongly executed has returned to life.
By that logic then we should abandon all law and trials since some get wrongfully convicted? Human error is a risk in everything, but people still fly and drive knowing full well some planes will crash, and some will wreck on the road and die.

Are you itchy after tackling that straw man? I never said anything about doing away with all laws. The problem is that you're extremist stupidity cannot comprehend anything that isn't an all-or-nothing false dichotomy.
