It's not one person who gives the death sentence though, that's partially the point. The alleged 'blame' of the sanctioning/ enacting of death is spread through the multiple facilitators, the people who vote (within American democracy, at least) for the government which continues to practice the death penalty. It's not a case of tit-for-tat, it's a case of democratic legitimization standing against the individual.
