Your emotional arguments actually do more harm than good to your causes, and I suggest you develop the ability to conduct fact-based analysis. Not an insult, just some unsolicited advice.
The death penalty, as implemented, actually provides the opposite of what it seeks to achieve. The death penalty costs a society not only the emotional loss of two citizens, but the cost of execution including the appeals process, even in Texas costs more than a lifetime of imprisonment. Further, in the pursuit of justice, courts historically have a "pretty good" record of convicting the guilty, but they have also been known to convict the innocent. DNA evidence has freed several convicted rapists and murders, so who knows what new form of forensic science will come up in the future. Killing a convict prevents a society from ever truly achieving justice.
