Capital punishment has *never* been proven to be a "deterant" to crime.

I had my speech for a response to this comment rehearsed if it ever came up.
Death penalty isn't a deterrent... and it's not supposed to be. It's a way of permanently removing a dangerous criminal from society without a recurring annual cost to tax payers. A cold-blooded murderer is a useless piece of garbage that contributes nothing to society. Why should the taxpayers spend money on him year after year? Or risk him being paroled or escaping? Or killing a guard? Or finding some way to reproduce?

Personally I just believe in punishment.
