So, last week a convicted murderer died. Unless you have been living under a rock or don't live in the US, you've heard the outcry. He proclaimed his innocence to the end, which was good.
I am happy that I live in a country that is ruled by laws and NOT public opinion. He was found guilty. He has had numerous appeals over the past 21 YEARS. They never found enough proof to release him. It's not like they haven't been looking.
But to be fair, it's not about the fact he's a convicted murderer. It's more about opposition to the Death Penalty. And also to be fair, both right and left sides of the political spectrum are hypocrites. You have one side opposed to the Death Penalty, but in support of Abortion... Solet me get this straight, if you are an innocent, it's ok to kill you, but if you're guilty, you can live? Yeah that makes sense... On the other hand... All life is sacred, i.e. Pro-Life, except when you are a convicted murderer. So let's kill the person that killed someone else, because one person wasn't enough. This is not Babylon. Hammurabi is dead.
Now I'm not criticizing the way you think. I just want people to be consistant. I, myself, support Abortion and the Death Penalty. Unfortunately with the way the world works, you can't save everyone. It's sad and tragic, but that's reality.
