Nobody deserves death, however much me way wish it. Humans dole it out in spades, though.

I respectfully disagree for rare cases. Some people are just plain evil, according to modern sensibilities.

I disagree but I do like this Gandalf quote, whether they deserve it or not it's not our call:

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement"

That's more or less my point. We're all flawed. I'm just questioning our ability to be self regulating. I'm also questioning the use of the word "deserve."
