I'm somewhat ambiguous on the death penalty. I think there are situations that merit it, but there are some pretty bad people who do some pretty heinous things who do not get the death penalty, and I don't lose a lot of sleep over those cases.

This was from the article and I thought it was somewhat representative of the progressive European mindset (ignorant of reality): "Javier Garvich, making a comment on the Spanish website of El País, wrote that “if this happened in Cuba or North Korea, the United Nations would seek international sanctions.”"

Wut? Actually if it happened in Cuba or North Korea I believe it would be seen as an improvement.

I guess in this case, I can't get past what the guy did. Hard for me to feel sympathetic towards him. He shot his victim twice with a shotgun (after having raped her) and then had her buried while she was still alive.
Yeah, this guy. I hope he died in terrible agony. Unfortunately its a near certainty that somebody who wasn't guilty also died in the same fashion.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

I guess for me - the fact that i am ambiguous at all about the dp probably comes from the same place as my opposition to abortion- it is a life that we dont have the right to take

i would probably be completely against it, except that there are some people whose very existence on this earth is abhorrent. It is definitely a difficult issue to go fully one way or the other on

There is such a thing as a sonofabitch that needs killed, I just don't like the state doing it.
