Which is just one of the reasons that I support the death penalty. The punishment shouldn’t be based on emotions. The left likes to say the same thing but for another reason and that is they believe the DP is driven by anger and revenge.

The truth is that the only penalty that is proportionate to the crime of murder (free of human emotions) is the DP. Therefore, when this penalty is not carried out for the crime of murder, is it due to the human emotions of mercy and compassion for the murderer.

That is not to say I don’t believe in redemption from God. Punishment and redemption are two separate things even though the anti death penalty groups try to link them.
