To quote Mahatma Gandhi - An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Please understand, I am NOT a Buddhist, but the principle nonetheless applies.

And Gandhi was a *****, like we've covered it a long time ago. Not a bad person, but definitely not a hero.
Anyway, eye for an eye is not a working concept. Is it justice? Depends what your view of justice is. My view is, that it's not justice. Why would we need any more harm that is already done? But in some cases eye for an eye is justice. Say, you steal 1000 dollars from the society. Eye for an eye is that you pay it back. That is justice.
You shoot someone to death for reason unknown. When danger is over and that shooter has been captured, to shoot him is eye for an eye, but unnecessary. I wouldn't think that as justice.
In case of heated situation, where you are facing a poke to your eye, I don't suggest getting it done and then poking back. I strongly recommend being the poker first, then poking some more, and then some, never letting the aggressor poke you at all. Poke all his eyes. No reason to get hurt because some sissie thinks you have other opportunities. You should have mercy in your heart, to evaluate the situation, that you don't hurt other people too much. For example if aggressor is drunk and just being a *****, but coming to hit you, you should teach them a lesson but not leave them with harmful injuries. If someone grabs a knife and you get the upper hand, you should stick that knife into them, but not killing them if possible. If someone is otu there to kill you, you should kill them first. Simple and effective.

There’s a time for lies and a time for truth.
I say, eye for an eye, eye for a tooth.
When I roamed young, I’d scavenge around.
Every nook and cranny of our little town.
It’s nice, so nice, to be.
Pull out the cannon boys, steal us some wine.
Puff tijuana smalls. shake hands with beef!
She’s so fine, she’s so sweet.
Mom and pop they raised her on huge slabs of meat.
She’s fine, a man of nine, water derby day.
Twenty six pumps on a crossman, and it’s time to play
It’s nice, so nice, to be
Pull out the cannon boys, steal us some wine
Puff tijuana smalls. shake hands with beef!

I believe that there are many cases in which the death penalty is appropriate.

) but I would try to stop them in non lethal ways.
so you suggest someone would rape and kill him? That's not the same, that's not eye for an eye. Eye for an eye would be that someone rapes and kills HIS kid. Is that justice? What would it help? What difference would it make? I say lock'em up, don't let them out. But that's it. DP supporters hate life. I'm pro-life. And pro-choice.
