No death penalty thanks to Illinois Governor George Ryan. Thus the gang murders will continue to rise.

What part of "Thou shalt not suffer a murderer to live" don't we understand?

Ryan had no choice. There’s a police commander named Jon Burge, he has a wikipedia page, that tortured people for near two decades and many wound up on death row. Ryan began to discover that those ready for death had their confessions beaten out of them. He had no idea how many there were and so he couldn’t at that point continue the death penalty because he’d be doing nothing else but investigating to make sure that someone who was beaten didn’t get killed.

Is that perhaps supposed to be a quotation from the Holy Bible? No such quotation exists.

Or were you perhaps thinking of "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live?" (Exodus 22:18).

But surely you aren't calling for the death penalty for practitioners of witchcraft?!

Regards,
