Up until a few years ago, I believed the death penalty was appropriate, but have since changed my mind. But I'll save my moral & political speech for another time
I get really upset when I hear the media say that McVeigh's execution would help the healing process for victims or famliy members. It's inconceivable to me how taking someone's life can help ease the pain of losing a friend or relative. All of the relatives I've heard on TV have said that the execution didn't help at all. There is an empty spot in their hearts, and nothing can be done to relieve their pain. I wonder when people will realize that you can't fix pains caused by hatred and violence with more hatred & violence.
