Our Founders also practiced capital punishment.
When the crime is murder or worse, "cruel and inhumane (sic)" no longer applies; all bets are off.
The only one morally or ethically entitled to "forgive" such a crime is the victim or the victim's family.
What ridiculousness!!
I fully support Capital Punishment. If the Louisiana authorities had had an airtight case, they would have followed the constitution and brought these “yoots” to trial in front of a jury, gotten a death sentence and then hung ‘em high
I would be all in favor of that. Heck, I live in Texas, where we fry ‘em every week down in Huntsville.
40 years in solitary is not justice. It is torture. And just like slavery, there is NO need of context. It just is.
