all about religion and boats...
Whilst religion plays a part in criminal punishments the death penalty goes beyond it. At its core the death penalty comes from emotional attachment.
A desire of vengeance rather then justice. You show me someone who isn't angry who holds no ill will towards someone on death row and still supports the death penalty.
At its base all it is, is anger. Their angry they want the person to suffer. They've no interest in actual justice.
A death penalty advocate is a teenage girl who just found her BFF's high school sweet heart skipped out of town with the local ****.
