Can we stop with the unAmerican & unpatriotic attacks on AG Garland DOJ & FBI I guess we could start dropping the receipts. Speaking of have you filed your personal income taxes? 2015 et seq LOLs
I’m glad AG Garland is taking this step. I’m not an advocate of death penalty as a life sentence seems like a pretty heavy price to pay. There’s also cases where DNA evidence comes into exonerating people up for death penalty where it wasn’t available at time of incarceration. Lastly, there’s the human element. Incarceration & loss of freedom is harsh enough. Garland specified “fairly and humanely” and that also brings to mind a system that does not treat people of color and minorities the same as white people.
My family was victimized by gun violence. My father a doctor seeing his patients, was gunned down in the doctor’s parking lot (in a gang initiation shooting) and later died from those injuries. I have had years to think about proper punishment and in my own mind, cannot imagine how taking the life of the shooter, solves anything. It doesn’t bring back the victim nor give any peace of mind. This perpetrator did not serve a long sentence either. Lastly, lethal injection in certain cases, created a long, drawn-out death with suffering & struggle. If we are to differentiate our country as a moral leader that decries inhuman treatment of others, why should we execute people in inhumane manners? It seems wrong on so many levels. I have taken so much grief over the years for these thoughts but I’ve walked in the shoes of those before me who’ve lost loved ones to violent crime & nothing appeases that pain….certainly for me, the idea of taking another life, is wrong & does not bring back a loved one.
I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. We need stricter laws and better, smarter people in leadership positions so we can enforce those laws and hopefully turn this country back into the caring, humane place it was meant to be.
So glad this is happening. That there was not more outrage over the return of the death by firing squad was one of those moments where you knew his cult was all in, as long as it wasn't them.

You amaze me daily - I strive to have your strength and fortitude- and I completely understand your points too
Thank you....that’s very kind Filey!❤️ All the best to you and the family this holiday.
I am very sorry this happened to your father. You strengthen my conviction that the death penalty should be abolished.
❤️Thank you.
