When not in the position of a victim/family member of a victim, etc we all have such contradicting views on how suitable, just and right is capital punishment, yet how many are prone to change their views when in those truly harrowing role.
Think of the father in Saudi, who having the ability to see the man guilty of killing his son put to death, calls on the state to release him. And yet think of the Buddhist father in Sri Lanka who's daughter is raped, killed and her corpse left humiliated for her father to discover, calling on the state to bring the punishment of KSA to Sri Lanka(his precise words)..different people behave differently when faced with trials!
