re: #226 William Barnett-Lewis

The death penalty is never justice. It is only revenge that is supposed to be out of human hands if we claim to be followers of Christ.

Not to mention that if we had simply locked him up and fed him three meals a day for 50 years it would still cost far less than executing him did while accomplishing the same goal of keeping the world safe from him.

Let’s admit it. The DP is about revenge. And god knows, we’d have one of those fantasies if one of our loved ones got killed by someone like Franklin but at the same time, there has to be justice and I do think the US needs to join the rest of the Western world in not having the DP.
