Prabhupad was in favor of the death penalty. A sentence of death issued by true court under the auspices of a righteous king mitigated much of the karma earned by the perpetrator. Those not punished in this world face far worse at the hands of Yama, the Lord of Death.
It is their wage, their just desert. Who believes in depriving people of what they have earned? They might even repent.
No no! Vengeance must be /ours/, or our children and people are doomed.
There will be none left to worship or remember your God.
