In a way any singular act of wrongdoing ultimately warrants death according to Christianity. That's kind of the whole point of Jesus dying and then resurrecting.
What really, really irks me about the celebration of the death penalty from the perspective of these kinds of Christians is that you're basically cutting short someone's chances to repent (at least from some theological perspectives) and attempt to do good. Wouldn't that be an amazing illustration of the power of God? How you can call the death penalty consistent with grace and forgiveness and love is absolutely baffling. It is completely contrary to the whole point of everything you claim to believe.
It should go without saying after that that I don't agree with this decision whatsoever, but I'm mostly just disappointed with otherwise decent people being complacent about yet more death.
