Hanged by the neck until DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this the only way out??? ???

Last week saw yet another man line up for the gallows. The press, the people.. all lauded this court verdict. Infact some of the families who lost their loved ones in the Mumbai terror attacks were mum.... the death penalty to Ajmal Amir Kasab was not something they badly wanted..... rather it made not much of a difference to them! But, the country rejoiced for many felt Kasab deserves to die!! And prolly a youth tomorrow will think twice before taking such a horrendous step!

Seems fair if thought this way. But, i have something different to say! I was kind of shocked to read the quotes of people frm arnd the globe demanding Kasab's death! Do we really really have any right to kill somebody like that??? True, that Kasab's act deserves no mercy.... but is the death penalty the right verdict?? I knw very little about the rules of the law but 'Life imprisonment' would have been more appropriate! Just my personal voice! The torture in spending the rest of the life behind bars is a lot more! He is a demon to have killed a hundred people but aren't we falling into the same category by killing him???

And how does Kasab's death give relief to the families who have lost someone in the attacks??? Will the dead get back to life??? Will the sorrow of not having your mum/dad/bro/friend around reduce even one bit??? Sounds extremely strange and senseless to me!

The guilty MUST be punished but 'Blood for Blood' i feel, is a very insane and inhuman way of punishing!!!

I even read someone's response on giving kasab life imprisonment which said 'why waste the nation's money on Kasab's food and clothing and security?' In that case, why waste India's money on any prisoner..... they have all done wrong at some point!!!.... murders.. robberies... rapes... Why have prisons and keep them jailed??? Give yourself a break from this attitude!!! To stand up on that gallow and count your few last breaths can be devastating to no extent!! And, standing up 'for' such a verdict is nothing but an epitome of cruelty!!!

I know many would still disagree, and without dis-respecting anyone's opinion, I personally, strongly condemn the 'death penalty' given to Ajmal Kasab!!!! Wish i had the authority to change it! Somewer it DOES make KILLERS of us!!!

The law cannot please one and all. It has to cater to justice, no matter who is benefited!!
But, the guilty can be punished and justice can still prevail in a more human way!!
