荒唐！美国、日本还不保留着死刑？没有死刑，那些杀人放火的坏人就更无法无天了。到时候社会还有什么安定？老百姓还怎么过日子？

That's absurd. The United States and Japan still have capital punishment, don't they? Without the death penalty, those evildoers committing murder and arson would be even more lawless. When that happens what stability will there be in society? How will the average citizen be able to live?
