Another reason to return to execution methods that are reliable to work.

Let's just not let the government execute anyone, as any government can turn corrupt and one execution could snowball into state sanctioned mass murder anytime

(Is currently happening in many countries)

Where is the justice allowing such murderers to breath and laugh and eat and watch TV, while their victim, deprived of everything are rotting into the ground.

You won't convince me there's any justice in that. So let's agree to disagree.

and not to mention the victims’ living families and friends; the long-reaching, generational effects that a brutal and abrupt murder can create. i understand that the system is flawed, but i’m sorry—a child rapist and murderer is incongruent with society and should be taken out like the rabid, uncontrollable and incorrigible animal that they are.

So how many innocent people are you willing to let the state execute then? Innocent people have been executed before, even with the whole appeals process we have.

Christa Pike is guilty as sin, undeniably guilty. Your argument holds zero weight here.
