an eye for an eye

early today, the co-founder of one of the biggest and fiercest gangs in the nation was executed by lethal injection.

some say that the money spent to keep him alive was so much more than the cost to execute him. and some say that the lives he saved from his books and public speaking merited keeping him alive to continue his gang intervention work.

the law was executed and upheld.

is there a necessity or responsibility then to ask if we are entitled to take one's life, as much as we have the ability to create life?
