Nebraska places a higher value on convicted murderers than it does the victims.

[Alberta's Child]

Nebraska and North Dakota -- the two states mentioned in the leading paragraphs of this article -- are among the most reliably conservative states in the U.S. I suspect there's something at work here that goes beyond what Freepers are assuming is the soft-on-crime narrative.

If I were a legislator I would vote to abolish the death penalty, too ... not because I value the lives of murderers over those of victims, but because I recognize that with the kind of nitwits that run this country, the state probably doesn't even have the moral authority to arrest people, let alone execute them.
