my God skye i dont even know what to say thats every parents nightmare ,I am really sadend to hear this happened to your family i cant even imagine the pain your parents must have gone threw
I haven't read all posts yet in this thread so sorry if i repeat what someone says.... but... i think Obama is a clever guy!!
Ok i am an anti... i am against Capital Punishment for everyone....Regardless of crime... BUT i can understand why some people are for it.. now especially for child crimes....
I think if Capital Punishment was given fairly.. to the most heinous of criminals only then a lot more people would be for it.... Obama knows this... and well there are not many things worse that the rape and/or torture of a young child....
His views on the DP may not be what we all want... he is a Pro... but he wants to make a lot of change... he says only the heinous worst of the worst should be executed... something that most pro's would agree.. and many Anti's would say "well thats a start"....
He is keeping his votes from all who are interested in the politics of Capital Punishment.... I wouldn't not vote for him over his views on this if i were american.... because he is not agreeing with something obsurd... you know?
Does that make any sense at all or should i just go lie down? lol
I do not believe that the death sentences bring closure to the victims family.
My brothers, at ages 5 and 7 were murdered in VA. The man who did this would later serve time, be released and the day of his release he would be shot and killed.
Although he did not have the death sentence, he was murdered non the less. He had no life in the free world. He was out of prison for 5 hours before his death.
I have mourned the loss of two brothers I never knew. I saw the pain in my Father’s eyes each time he woke up and even when he laid dying in the hospital, he still felt that pain.
My mother still struggles with the loss. We all do.
There was never any closure. There never will be.
Some people believe they will feel better once the individual is put to death. Maybe they do, but I know in our case... it did not and will not heal the wounds that are inside our hearts. I don't see how it does make them feel better, the pain will always be there.
