Death Penalty

This just came to me. It's not a new idea. Something about 'an eye for an eye' made it pop out of my head.
These characters who have been tried by law and found guilty of killing a person.. as in.. in another time and circumstance, they've go to the lethal injection chamber?
Make them replace the eye.
What I mean is.. whoever was the closest or most highly affected person or persons of the murder victim...
gets the murderer...
lock, stock and rest of his life..
To be done with as the victim's relative's or friend deem fit.
In the briefest of terms, he becomes their 'slave.'
Forever.
Silly idea? Hmm....

I realize this is a serious discussion based on some real 'f****d-up' occurences in the school system. I have absolutely no wish to trivialize such situations and my heart goes out to any person or persons who has been touched by any of these recent (or not so recent) tragedies. When I was a kid in school, my biggest worry was remembering my gym clothes, as it should be.
But all parts of a society are influenced by its participants unfortunately and we end up with this kind of crap going on in a place of learning. And this is what those poor kids end up learning. Tis very, very sad.
But I'm picking up on a few comments about nutters and people who like to 'nail-bomb, shoot someone for no reason...out of a sick form of diseased curiosity.'
I've got a new game for these people. And random chance plays executioner. Just a thought anyway. (Damn, I came in here to read stuff by Zach and I end up playing god or summat.. yeesh)
Enter all these questionable f*****s in a lottery. Any fool who thinks life is something he can play dice with becomes a member. Have a lottery. And the winners get to be killed by some of the more slimy members of this troupe. Damn, you say, the slimy ones get to kill people? Well, they'd be doing it anyway, wouldn't they? At least they can kill their own kind.
And you just keep having these 'lotteries for life' till someone smartens up or you run out of participants.
Hmm... any light reading in this place? I can't believe where I've ended up in my conversational threads.
