Finally, common sense prevails

Now I oppose it with the same intensity. It took deep introspection for the change in viewpoint to occur. Most importantly, it took honesty; honesty to the subject. On my part, the change hasn’t been without cost. It has been worthwhile, though. I feel liberated from thoughtless anger, vengeance, evil and fake intellectual assumptions. The ever, emotionally pent up social media and radio crowds have fallen on me like a ton of bricks. But I have taken a position.

The death penalty does not work and constitutes an unnecessary distraction from genuine crime fighting efforts. After hanging close to 50 people, over 50 years, we should be able to tell the public that there are indications that it is working. We can’t. Instead, we dishonestly feed the gullible population with assumptions as facts. People are still getting killed at alarming rates.
