This woman seems only mildly pro-death penalty, what with all her prohibitions against executing "juveniles" and "the innocent".

She won't truly be pro-death penalty until she can dance around and fire her gun in the air after every execution, like we do proudly, here in Oklahoma.

Yeah, I would buy more into her change of heart if the murderer actually got the death penalty and it wasn't in Mumiavannia.

Well, duuhhh. Welcome to the real world, sweetheart. I don't know whether to laugh at these people or be sad for them. Perfect illustration of how liberalism exists in a fantasy world.

... dance around and fire her gun in the air after every execution, like we do proudly, here in Oklahoma.

Sounds more like you live in the Gaza Strip

Weird. I'm categorically opposed to the death penalty, myself. But I'm baffled at many of my fellow death penalty opponents. So many of them seem to place an unnatural and unrealistic emphasis on viewing violent criminals as victims. I don't understand why. This woman seems genuinely surprised at her new-found perspective. I wonder, where was her empathy for the victims of crime before?

From death penalty debates in a Christian ethics class I took, people do seem to be quite focused on the criminal as a victim, which puzzled me. It almost seemed as if the criminal's victimhood overshadowed the victim's (or victim's survivors') victimhood, violation, and loss. Very puzzling. And annoying.

This woman is a fool. She thinks he will die in prison. What an idiot. The killers will get out in 15 years or less. That is why there is a death penalty: because no one ever spends theirlife in prison. If it were true that murderers actually spent the rest of their lives in prison, I would oppose the death penalty. But sincethe criminal justice system never protects the public, the only reasonable course of action is to support the death penalty should the murderer be found and convicted (which by the way is only about a 10% chance). you would be shocked at how many O.J. simpsons there are that get away with murder. It is among the least likely crimes to get criminal convictions. And then to top it off, the idiot liberals and those in the criminal "justice" system try to find any way they can to free the few that do get convicted. The criminal justice system is a sick joke.

Proving once again that the man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.

My personal feeling has always been that if the criminal was in control of himself (i.e., not insane) and able to tell right from wrong (i.e., not mentally retarded), then the punishment should fit the crime. If that means death, then so be it. Some people are just too depraved to risk letting them out in twenty years.

Ahh look what happens when a loved one is murdered some bleedheart changes their mind pretty fast too bad it had to happen this way

So if someone is not sane enough or intelligent enough to control themselves, how can you be certain that they will not murder again? How do you prevent them from doing so?

It appears to me that those people should be the ones most eligible for capital punishment rather than the least.

Yeah she probibly took part in many protests again the exicution of a convicted killer and lighting her candle then when it happens to a family memeber she changes her mind looks like one less candle and one less bleedingheart

Another Republican is born...

"It was easy to have moral objections to an issue that didn't affect me directly"

Isn't this the problem with all liberals?

This is the problem with "as long as it doesn't affect me it's ok"

Like Judge Edward Cashman and his 60 day sentence to a sicko who raped a 7 year-old-girl for 4 years.
