So you believe in giving every multiple murderer a second chance

Just for clarity's sake, I don't think that commuting a death sentence to life imprisonment rises to the level of a second chance. It's entirely possible to be for wanting Tookie off the streets permanently, and against killing him.

Why even have a death penatly if states aren't going to use it then?

Life in prison still means that he'll have food, water, shelter, and other basic necessities that most current victims of the recent hurricanes don't have.

And what about the victims' lives? Are they aren't valuable too? Why does a murderer have more right to breathe than they did? The moment this monster took their lives, he forfeited his right to live on this earth. For justice to be done, he must die.

If I recall correctly, a prisoner who'd been "permanently" incarcerated had escaped.
