If someone takes another person’s life, I agree with that.
Nobody seems to be enforcing the death sentences, so I did reference life in prison.
My first choice is an eye for an eye.
The idea someone can kill another person and be up for parole at any time in their future, really rubs me the wrong way.
Execution is there for a reason, and I want it enforced.
California now has 714 death row inmates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_death_row_inmates_in_the_United_States
It isn’t carrying them out either.
There were two propositions on the ballot on November 8th, that addressed the subject of capital punishment.
62 addressed the issue of converting death row sentences to life. The voters said no by 53.2%.
66 addressed shortening the legal procedures before the death penalty was carried out. 51.1% said yes to this.

Those aren’t large margins, but Californians did get them right.
The Left will have them back on the ballot as soon as they can. That’s what they do until they finally win here.
