Why the outrage over capital punishment but not capital crimes themselves?
You see it is when the murder is about to be put to death for his crimes that the liberals suddenly start wailing about sympathy , charity and forgiveness for the criminal that is! Screw the victims and their families!
Cause liberals have had some success stopping the former - but not the latter - by simply running their mouths.
