Truly a man deserving of lenience.
We are learning by the day what the Democrats think about ordinary people who are the victims of crime.
I disagree. It's horrific what happened to the victims. But being anti death penalty is about us as a society. Humans are flawed and so all human systems are flawed. Do we want our flawed system killing people decades after the crime was committed? Especially since our flawed system does convict and sentence innocent people on occasion. Isn't one innocent life taken by a death penalty too much? Taken by government? I'm not sure how many anti government people seem ok with the government killing people: they are wrong about masks and the covid vaccine but they are right about killing people?
All cultures determine what an acceptable killing is. And that varies by culture. Just wars but not unjust wars, self defense but not killing over stealing your car, etc. Hundreds of years ago, there were fewer ways to ensure a horrible criminal didn't re-offend and harm more people. So killing them may have been the only way to ensure the survival of the rest of the group/town/community. Today, we have max security prisons that remove people from society and minimize the harm they can do. There is no need to make government kill people when there are still flawed judicial processes and we have better ways of keeping society safe from the perpetrators.
