Generally, I follow the Church's guidance that the death penalty is not really justifiable in a modern society. But sometimes the visceral reaction to people doing something as evil as engaging in a gun battle in front of an elementary school brings back some of those good old Kentucky-boy instincts and I think, "Those people just need killing." Just for a second (or a minute, or five minutes, or . . .); then rational/moral thought kicks in.
Must admit that it hasn't yet in this case but it will eventually. I think.
