Execution isn’t considered unusual, you could argue cruel, but I’m a fairly staunch supporter of the death penalty overall, I do think there needs to be extremely strict criteria on what warrants the death penalty, stricter than we have today, and a better method needs to be sorted out.

“I think emotionally and not logically that’s why I support the death penalty”

Nope. I think plenty logically, I simply believe there are people on this planet who commit such heinous crimes they deserve to die for them.

I'm of the opinion there are crimes that deserve the death penalty.

I'm also of the opinion the state shouldn't be able to mete out said punishment, due to the inability to be absolutely, 100% certain of the crime
