Not Everybody's Life Matters as Much as Others

Some people see Capital punishment as vengeance. I see it as justice. Others see it as retribution. I do realize it can be arrayed with the accoutrements of justice. We can point to the revulsion of the offence and claim that death is the only fitting redress. For those who see it exacting revenge, so be it. I do realize that our maximum security correctional facilities are not the place one would choose to socialize and neither are these correctional facilities equivalent to a pat on the back and a ticket to a Disney resort. Moreover, there’s the possibility, however slight that the person secured to the gurney didn’t do it. Granted, the odds are nowhere near what the amateur defense attorneys on the left would suggest.  But I am content with the death penalty when there is unquestionable and substantial physical evidence that the individual committed a crime deserving execution.  

I am of the belief there is no shortage of people whose continued existence is an affront to the dignity of the species, not to mention an irresponsible waste of oxygen. Some of them like members of ISIS, Boko Haram, the likes of Michael Brown, aggressively throw themselves into the crosshairs. Some might suggest, though I am not one of them, we contort ourselves to keep every murderous madcap or crazy from meeting his or her maker. If, as our Pontiff (Pope Francis) entreats, we were to eliminate Capital Punishment as an outcome, why not guarantee the cage that houses the animal is pretty damn miserable. An additional point that is valid concerning the topic discussed; dead animals cannot make license plates. 

In conclusion, is not Planned Parenthood a taxpayer-funded human butcher shop? Has not the so-called “Black Lives Matter” movement been transformed into a pillaging and cop-killing mob? Has not our beloved, Nobel laureate president genuflected and scraped us into a face-off with the Russians across the searing Syrian sands? Is it just me or does not life seem quite cheap to the people in power these days? Perhaps we should consider a moratorium on executions for a while or perhaps not.
