Just chilling to read that, so very sorry for the loss.

Glad the evil *rick is gone.

My point is that death is pretty irreversible whereas a mistake resulting in a prison sentence could be made “right” with a big payment. I certainly shed no tears when Saddam Hussein was hanged.

People don’t look at the nature of the murders.

I know that if a black man kills me in a fight in a working man’s bar, or as my drug addicted roommate, that he won’t get the death penalty (and vice versa), but if he comes into my restaurant and murders me in the course of a robbery, or kills my wife at her real estate office, then he might get the death penalty (and vice versa).

People need to look at what the nature and details of the interracial murders were, to compare apples to apples.
