One might dispute the value or utility of a justice that would respond to say, theft, by making no effort to repay the person who is stolen from, but instead takes something of equal value from the thief, and says everything is settled.

Except we have things like insurance and other means to make things equitable for those damaged by thefts...?

I mean, there's nothing really stopping you from doing both.

The death penalty is a perfectly just response to the murder of another human being.

Now, it unfortunately appears that the government of Texas has wrongfully killed four innocent people. So I'm going to need all police officers, prosecutors, judges, officials of the Dept of Criminal Justice, and every post-1976 governor still living to put their names into this here hat, and I'll draw four. Sorry guys but fair's fair, justice is blind and all that.

Nawh, it's cool. If the families can prove that they were wrongfully executed, they can get a few bucks from the State. It all works out in the end.

Whoa there, you get all this and all you have to do is kill someone? Well goons, it's been fun, but see you suckers in 20 years when I get my free bacon cheeseburger with ten slices of loving bacon along with some cheesy fries.

Not in Texas any more!

If you're going to die on our Death Row, you will eat the same Nutraloaf as everyone else and you will LIKE it!
