It is a story like this that makes me question my pacifism. The death penalty definitely seems appropriate in this situation. How do I tell myself that these people don't deserve to die? Sure, some people are only pacifists concerning war, but I want to be consistent. This story is awful. These people did an evil thing, but are they actually evil? I'm not sure; I'm not so sure anyone is evil. Calling these people evil is perhaps the easiest thing for us to do however. The truth is that every single one of us is capable of such a thing. There are "extraordinary" people who are able to buck the moral laws that we all follow and go their own way. This isn't a well structured response to this article. I'm sorry. It's truly troubling though.
