If i would be able to stone someone, if that person did something horrific to me.
 
yup, he shoulda thought about that before whatever it was he did...
 
hehe
then I just have to ask you:

if the person didn't do this to you, but was accused for doing it to someone else,, and you were to take part in the stoning

would go do it if there was only circumstantial evidence?
 
It shocks me how a human wouldn't mind stoning another human because of what they did to them. I don't think I could ever kill someone in that way and hear them suffer and die. I think for the people who agree with capital punishment that it should be kept to only something that doesn't cause the person to suffer.

Actually, it's a state sanctioned killing.

Well if someone knows that they will be killed if they kill, that is pretty self inflicted.

like the many people who are executed falsely?

Show me 3 cases of this happening. Cases that have happened recently, and in the developed world. Cases from the 1800's are inconclusive seeing as the eveidence than wasn't nearly as good as it is now a days.

Only by stretching the definition of 'self inflicted' to include things which are done to you by others.

thats what they did in the bible, if a woman was caught she would get stoned. I think we should bring that policy back, but have it apply for men and women.

it can happen to anyone easily. It would apply to people who are divorced also which isn't right.

Twelfth death row prisoner released in Illinois after being proven innocent

2003:
A Question of Innocence

http://www.aclu.org/capital-punishment/question-innocence

On April 8, 2002, Ray Krone was released from prison in Arizona after DNA evidence proved that he was not responsible for the 1991 murder of a Phoenix bartender. Krone became the 100th person exonerated and released from death row since 1973. Convicted twice for a brutal murder, Krone spent ten years in prison, two of them on death row. The DNA evidence that ultimately proved his innocence also implicated the real murderer.
Unfortunately, Ray Krone's story is not unique. As of February 2004, 113 inmates had been found innocent and released from death row. More than half of these have been released in the last 10 years. That means one person has been exonerated for every eight people executed.

Sure. The first site I wouldn't just take for truth as it isn't the most backed up site. As for the second one I say interesting, and sad. So to solve this problem, make sure you have the right person before you kill them. Simple enough.
