    All lives matter. It is not up to us to make decision whether one’s life has to live or die, but I believe that justice should be served and if a person murders an innocent person, he/she should pay the price at the cost of his/her own life.

It would lessen the violence and the killings of innocent people if the criminal is put down instead of just being locked in a jail cell. According to…
