I personally think it is wrong, because we are supposed to forgive others, and this is the very opposite of that, but I'd like to know what others think.

I'll go in depth with why I think it's wrong...

One the bible says to not murder, killing another person for whatever reason is murder in my eyes.
We are suppose to forgive, killing another person because they committed a crime is not forgiving it is revengeful which is also against God.
If someone did something bad enough to deserve the death penalty why not just keep them in prison where they can still live and maybe even turn to God instead of killing them off.
As humans I don't think that we are able to comprehend justice like how God can, if that makes sense. We are not God therefor I don't think that we can justify killing another off another human. We are just humans, we are sinners and our minds are not able to match Gods thought patterns, we should leave death up to God.
When he wants you home he will call you to it, we have no right to make that decision for another person for any reason.
