I feel compelled to state that I am opposed to the death penalty in all cases. I am aware that some of these are absolutely horrific crimes, and must be punished. I do not believe, however, that the taking of a life justifies the state-sanctioned taking of another.
JUST A REMINDER, FOLKS…….
DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
There are over 2,200 prisoners on death row in the United States. Between the 1st of January and today, there have been 19 executions carried out in SIX different jurisdictions using three different methods.
We saw the first deaths by firing squad in South Carolina, the first death by nitrogen gas in Louisiana, and finally a return to lethal injections in Arizona, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Florida. Towards the end of this week, it began to seem as though death was on the menu throughout the South, and at a reduced rate they were flying off the shelf so quickly.
Help us to help them. Please. Your community is counting on you, and they are too..and as always, ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY.
