Actually, leftist don’t really hate the death penalty for convicted murderers. They just love the attention that protesting the death penalty gives them. If the death penalty is outlawed they won’t have one of their positions to cry about anymore - and that probably scares them.
Good point.
That is the one problem with the death penalty. It’s easy to just forget about the murderer if he’s in prison forever. But, with the death penalty he gets way too much attention.
