1001

CNN.com - Politics work against Crips founder - Dec 7, 2005

Unless I miscounted, this guy is number 1001. Not a milestone to be proud of. For those who think that the death penalty is still about justice, let me quote one of the last paragraphs from this article:

Gov. Pat Brown, who in the 1950s and '60s commuted 23 death sentences, more than any California governor, acknowledged that he once let an inmate die in the gas chamber to get a minimum-wage bill through the Legislature.

And nobody (referring to those that support the death penalty) sees anything wrong with this!? This goes to show that not only is the death penalty nothing more than legalized revenge, it is also a political tool.

Shit like this makes the Baby Jesus cry. And I'm not kidding here. I'm sure Jesus, right now, is crying because of what a bunch of idiots we "Christians" are.

Once again, I truly believe the only answer is a government that is founded on these simple principles: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the balance between justice and mercy or compassion.

A lot like what Jesus preached in the Gospels. What a concept!
