So you're against the death penalty. What do you think would have been the appropriate punishment for Adolf Eichmann? 17 years like John Walker Lindh? 4 years like the Bali bombers? 10 minutes in the corner to think about what he's done?

When people tell me my stand isn't compassionate, I tell them that my compassion is for all the innocent human beings who have been murdered, not for the criminals who killed them.

See tagline.

Yep, I am against the death penalty. That being said, I think the Gubanator upheld the law.

I am against the death penalty because I think it is too easy on the criminals, takes up too many resources in endless appeals and just serves as a cause celebre for stupic celebrities who probably wouldn't know Mumia Abu Jamal from a mummy.
