Death penalty for murder seems reasonable. California juries sent hundreds to death row but the death penalty which we voted on various times was never functional. More people died of suicide or natural causes waiting for execution. I think Newsom might’ve commuted the sentences to life or otherwise introduced a moratorium but I try not to follow what he’s done to my native state too closely.

The Left used the court system to drag this out for decades. In California there’s at least one who was sentenced when Carter was president. I think there’s others with crimes going back that far as well.

They tried to take away the gas chamber and regulated lethal injection and tried to make sourcing the drugs impossible.

That is not law, that is not representative democracy. That’s tyranny.

We are talking about child rapists-murders, even murderer-necrophiliacs. Hard to imagine much worse yet they continue to live on the tax payers dime decades after conviction. Crime used to be an area where California Democrats and Republicans agreed. Republican representatives are all but extinct at the state and urban local levels now.

Hemp. Please do not tell me that hemp is unconstitutional.
