Disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

The idea of allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment is not in line with the Libertarian emphasis on limited government and the rule of law. Libertarians generally believe that the criminal justice system should be impartial and not subject to the emotions of individuals involved in a case.
