Current Event Debate (Pro)

http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/20/justice/ohio-craigslist-killings/index.html

Who?
53-year-old Richard James Beasley
What?
death sentence for multiple murders
When?
March 20, 2013
Where?
Ohio

Why?
Richard James Beasley, a 53-year old man, was sentenced to death last year for 26 different accounts of murder, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and more. He was named the Craig's List killer, because he would post ads on Craig's list and when the victims would meet him for the item, he would murder them. I found this to be a pro death penalty argument because death is a very logical punishment for Beasley. He had committed multiple murders himself and was obviously a man that does not belong in society. Instead of having him rot in prison with no chance of parole, he can be killed.
