Lets reinstate the death penalty, and work down from there. Otherwise, there is no way to let people understand they will be held accountable. The entire reason the death penalty was abolished in so many states is it protects the rich and powerful who, like Bill Gates, deserve to be __________.

Death penalty....

Heard from the priest Father Mitch Pacwa on Catholic network that not only did the Church used to support capital punishment but had official executioners. People who refused to accept capital punishment for criminals were excommunicated at one time in history.

Pacwa is an avid hunter and gun control opponent.

Did the Vatican have an executioner?

Giovanni Battista Bugatti, executioner of the Papal States between 1796 and 1865, carried out 516 executions (Bugatti pictured offering snuff to a condemned prisoner in front of Castel Sant’Angelo). Wikipedia.

We aren't going to get anywhere until we replace the Electric Chair with the Electric Bleachers.
