Illinois Abolishes Death Penalty


Recommended Posts

ABC News

It seems that the Democratic governor has finished what the previous Republican governor started when he put a moratorium on executions.

The optimistic humanist may say that people are starting to see the light and reject this practice as brutal and hypocritical. The pragmatic pessimist may see it for what it is: the system is just broken and executing people in a broken system is just not supportable.

Correct...executing the right people is otherwise perfectly acceptable! ;)
