I can’t throw the first stone either.
Then you can't sit on a jury.
Let me ask you, if someone raped and tortured and murdered your three year old daughter or granddaughter, would you be comforted in the thought he gets to live on the public dole for the next 50 years and dreaming and getting sexually aroused at the memory of torturing and raping your little girl, or would you prefer that his miserable life end as quickly as possible?
My position is that those who do not favor the death penalty for murder do not value the life of those they murdered. Instead they have more compassion for the perps than the victims.
