So, here's Mandi again, going off on capital punishment in the case of... doesn't matter. Don't kill people. Period.
It's Christa Pike, who, at age eighteen, murdered a fellow student at a job center/school over a young man. Now, prior to your knickers getting all tied up in square knots no sailor ever knew, please let me be extremely clear that I'm NOT condoning her release or anything crazy. She earned life in prison without the possibility of parole, but what I have a problem with is the state sanctioned murder sentiment that, "murder is so bad, if you kill someone, we will kill you back." (Thank you for that phrase, comedian Ron White, tip of the pen to you).
"She deserves to die." Well, I hate to tell ya'll this, but we're ALL gonna die at some point. (Except immortal beings such as vampires, but I'm not talking about them in this entry, this one is about mortal beings exclusively.) I don't view death as a punishment, and I haven't since I was very young, after
!
