The difference in Japan is, the execution can be carried out rather swiftly. I heard recently a killer who had walked into a school yard and killed and injured kids was executed in about 6 months after the sentencing. Maybe then, somebody might start thinking twice before killing anybody.

If my kid was ever murdered, I wouldn't want my tax money housing and feeding the mother____ for the rest of his life.
