POPSThe death penalty serves a purpose The tendency toward 'forgiving' pedophiles and murderers so they end up doing it again either while on probation or in prison, is a ridiculous thing. They are a waste of good air.

POPSForgetting the Victims: The NYT She killed her victims in the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem. This fits in with the anti-death penalty people. They want to elevate the murderers to hero status while practically dancing on the graves of their victims. Disgusting. Horrifying.

In an interview, he states: "Science does really draw a conclusion...There is no question about it. The conclusion is there is a deterrent effect. The results are robust. They don't really go away.

POPSThe majority of people polled support the death penalty Liberals turn the murderers and criminals into victims and forget the people they killed, assaulted, injured, or brutalized.
