Why I support the death penalty

It's tied to this story.

Just so I'm not misunderstood, I doubt the woman could rise off her sickbed and go on a killing spree. She's in the checkout lane of life and the cashier is in sight.

The attitudes expressed by those pushing for her release are similar to those who cry for the pardon of too many killers doing life when those same killers have "turned over a new leaf". Hey, if they're given life without parole it should stick. Period. I don't care if they become an orange jumpsuit wearing version of Mother Theresa, a lifetime sentence should be just that.

But too often it isn't and the scum are allowed back out in society. For that reason I support giving them the needle. Society has yet to evolve to where we can be assured we're safe once a murderer is locked up, I don't care WHAT the bleeding hearts who abhor capital punishment think. I'm sure the majority of "the compassionate crowd" are living safely in neighborhoods where the biggest crime is spitting on the sidewalk.

I often joke about how the majority of crime listed in my local paper concerns loose livestock. It's true and a welcome change from when I lived on Garfield Avenue in New London, CT, a city where on more than one occasion I woke up to the sound of gunfire in the early morning. It wasn't from any local shooting range either.

But what I don't mention about this little corner of paradise in northern Texas is the girl that was brutally murdered about eight miles away shortly after the War Department and I moved into our home. Just a woman at home with her baby when some creepzoid broke in and killed her after she resisted him. Things like that make me appreciate the 2nd Amendment and the death penalty. Her killer's case is still making it's way through the court system, the state is pushing for the needle. Hope they get that verdict.

Just opinions of a retired turd chaser.
