I don’t support the death penalty because I think it’s barbaric, but more importantly, it endangers the lives of innocent people.
Human beings are fallible. The justice system makes mistakes. To think otherwise is stupid, except think of a word that means stupid a thousand times over.
I don’t know what that word is, but that’s what I think of the death penalty.
Mistakes happen. They have in the past, and they will again. Innocent people will die at the hands of the state.
For example:
On this date in 1456, Joan of Arc was declared innocent for heresy.
Unfortunately for Joan, that was 25 years after she was burned at the stake for her crime.
