How would it cost more to execute them?

The potassium solution alone is probably more expensive than 3 meals in prison.

But it's not more expensive than 30 years in prison.

When a person is executed, they do not feel pain, remorse, etc. for what they have done b/c they are dead. They're families, who are innocent bystanders, are the ones who suffer. Why is that fair?

Oh no,not another one criminal loving thread,

with the usual bs arguments...

Just say that u don't LIKE the DP & end the conversation there...

However,I agree with u on one thing...

If somebody kills u,he should not be executed...

The point is to stop criminals. That way society never has to deal with the individual criminal or his/her crimes. The point is to protect the lives of potential victims in preference to those of actual murderers.
