No.
This is exactly why the death penalty is a bad thing...

No.
He shot a man's jaw off earlier that night.
Pursuant to an investigation, police learned that on the night prior to the killing, Davis had attended a party on Cloverdale Drive in a subdivision near Savannah. (T. 1115-1116). During the party, Davis, annoyed that some girls ignored him, told several of his friends something about “burning them.” (T. 146). Davis then walked around saying, “I feel like doing something, anything.” (T. 1464). When Michael Cooper and his friends were leaving the party, Davis was standing out front. (T. 1120). Michael Cooper was in the front passenger seat, and as the car pulled away, several of the men in the car leaned out the window shouting and throwing things. (T. 1120, 1186). Davis shot at the car from a couple of hundred feet away and the bullet shattered the back windshield and lodged in Michael Cooper’s right jaw. (T. 1186). Cooper was treated at the hospital and released and Cooper’s injury formed the basis for Count IV of Davis’ indictment. The shooting incident took place approximately one hour before Officer McPhail was shot.

Well then why bother with the trial?
you're using a flawed system not accepting new evidence why dick around in the first place just kill whoever the **** you feel like, as you clearly aren't after justice merely revenge on whoever pops up as the first easy target.
Isn't the death penalty just a lethal injection? it's funny because there are dying people suffering in pain who would love to take his place. I'm not sure he's innocent but there isn't enough proof to kill him and plus his crime isn't that bad.

You know the lethal injection is excruciatingly painful?
Only if it goes wrong. It isn't supposed to hurt is it?
If it does, then good.
Something wrong with revenge?

The death penalty is not a bad thing. The structure and organisation are bad.
"It is better one hundred guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer."
Benjamin Franklin.
The Death Penalty is permanent, it only takes one innocent man to be executed for something he did not do to make the entire practice questionable, especially in a modern civilised nation.

Top quote.
It's also painfully ironic that the advocates of small government insist on granting government the ultimate power, that of life and death. A power that I outright refuse to allow the government to have over me.

When it is state sponsored revenge.
Yep.
There are plenty of mass-murderers, paedophiles, thieves, assorted terrorists and other nasty people who may normally come across as not being idiots. However, their actions/beliefs allow them to be labeled as idiots.
Just as how you may have a halfway 'intelligent' person being pro-death penalty, but because of that, their 'intelligence' is nullified and they join the ranks of the great idiocy.
Yes, it is wrong and both morally and ethically unjustifiable.
Sorry, that is just a ridiculous blanket statement.
Not really. If you hold an idiotic view, you will be classed as being an idiot.
Okay, there are plenty of 'intelligent' people who are racist. I would call a racist an idiot, as they are exhibiting signs of something I find idiotic. Same here.
I was being melodramatic on purpose, by the way. The point was that people who would be regarded as having some intelligence, or some sort of social ability, are quite capable of acting in what we would regard as unacceptable ways, or holding views which would be regarded as wrong/idiotic/evil.

So everyone who has a different opinion of you would be labelled in idiot, no matter any other circumstances?
As for you and people who share your views, you are still thinking with an abundance of emotion. At the larger scale of countries, most decisions can be sorted out with maths.
