I would not watch.

I don’t think it’s something that ought to be recorded or broadcast, even if there may be a legitimate reason for it to be public.

The Bible teaches us that life is sacred and we are all made in God’s image. Jesus teaches us to forgive, turn the other cheek, and to love our enemies. The concept of televised executions is abhorrent.

Life is a gift. While some are due to die for crimes, to watch such an event glorifies it and makes the enforcers the spectacle.

No I won't watch.

I'm opposed to the death penalty. There are plenty of people that I think deserve death, but the Grace and Mercy Christ showed me compels me to desire mercy for others.
