Kill People Who Have Killed

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I wrote something here. Yesterday, I was in class, and we were talking about values and laws because in my country, Ecuador, there had recently been a gruesome murder. A Venezuelan had stabbed a taxi driver all over his body and neck-- sixteen times-- in cold blood! I was particularly indignant because I had seen the video of where everything happened and nobody had tried to help the driver. Of course, I can certainly understand their fear and inaction because that Venezuelan had a knife, and he was like possessed by the Devil.

The borders of Ecuador are very open and everyone can enter, and while I don't have anything against foreign people, I hope something like this does not happen again. So, the thing is that my teacher said she was against laws which allow society to kill people for having killed others because it is amoral and goes against human rights. However, giving voice to my disagreement, I asked her about the taxi driver's rights, an inquiry which, apparently, some of my classmates seemed to agree with as reflected by their nods of approval and comments. So, if you were to ask me about it, I would wholeheartedly agree with the death penalty for those who have killed and raped.*

Thank you for reading my post. I hope you that you will leave your opinion and also correct my grammar mistakes :)

Hi Josue. Good job! Whatever changes that I’ve made were merely done to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears. I hope that this helps you. J.

*Yes, the subject of the Death Penalty is always a good topic of discussion as valid arguments can be made on either side of it. In the end, all of us have to make our own decision about it based on our personal values which, may or may not, be in line with the values of the society that we live in.
