How do we simultaneously both do justice and love mercy with respect to the death penalty? Pro-Death Penalty people have no problem with doing justice. How can they love mercy?

I'm only modestly brilliant. "Amazingly brilliant" is ten points up the IQ scale. lol

"Mercy" does not mean "let everyone do whatever they want with no consequences".

If you steal my car and then beg for forgiveness... I may show mercy and forgive you. That does not mean that, as a society, we allow people to keep the car.
