It’s so easy to point fingers. It’s easy to look down on others who commit crimes and do evil acts like she did 40 years ago.

Humans have been given, by their Creator, the right to form governments and to establish order that promotes the stewardship of the Earth. Ms. Atkins was judged by her peers to be a threat to that which makes life on this planet manageable.

Her request should not be considered in the light of vengeance or compassion, but in the light of our responsibility to enforce the laws which humans have instituted to facilitate the performance of our duty to populate and to manage the planet. Atkins must fulfill the terms of her sentence and die in prison. Any hate directed at her by individuals will be dealt with on a much higher level when those persons face their ultimate trial.

Well since you put it THAT way, by all means — we should definitely show her no compassion by granting her request to die at home, nor any other dying prisoners who requests the same thing.

Here in California, we could make a huge dent in the prison overcrowding crisis AND the insane budget deficit by doing this very thing — by allowing the elderly and dying to finish out their days on earth at home or hospitalized, instead of the prison system footing the bill.

You put it in earthly terms of courts and serving justice made up by governments, then let’s do the fiscally responsible thing all the way around. Let’s keep it pragmatic and realistic.

Then she definitely should go home today. Would save all of us taxpayers a ton of $$$, rather than keep her in prison.

I vote for that for sure.
