[I still care]

I saw a crime show the other day (true life)that the family was devastated the murderer did not get the death penalty. That is argument number one for me.

He got life in prison. (This man was very obviously guilty of multiple, heinous murder.)

He was released on parole some 25 years later. That is argument number 2.

There are some crimes even 25 years are not enough for.

Vengeance and closure are very real human emotions. They work for me. Seeking vengeance on a man who killed a loved one is far from a sin. Why should the good and peaceful people be playthings for the murderous?
