Strangely, while watching the video again, I feel a little sympathy for the man, despite the fact that I despise the man, I felt sorry for him. Seeing him being lead to the rope, his lack of resistance and the look on his face just seemed very saddening, it makes me feel that the death sentence is unjust. There are, however, pros to the death sentence like the fact that they act as a deterrent (not for the likes of Saddam, but it deters people from committing crimes like murder etc.) and the fact that if we had the death sentence here in England, less of the taxpayers's money be spent on feeding convicts and letting them play PS2, and more would be spent on things like the NHS which are in dire need of improvement.
I'm not actually sure what to think of it.
