I feel the need to opine, slightly, on the death penalty

I can go on for hours, but I’ll try to hold my characters on here to a minimum.



Execution in Ohio: Witnesses say Dennis McGuire snorted and struggled to breathe during his nearly 25 minute long execution. Lawyers for the convicted rapist had argued that the method of execution would put him at a risk of unusual agony and terror. The death has been called horrific. 


I am not a real big fan of capital punishment, maybe that’s the Catholic education I had.. nonetheless, if we’re going to do it, do we want this much pain and suffering?


Really.. why not just do the Kim Jong Un way and feed them to dogs? Or the old fashioned way and make the lions ravage him? I am not in a position to judge anyone in a family who lost a loved one and seeks the death penalty as retribution for a crime.


But I am in a position, as any other human being is, to say that if we’re going to have this type of government sanctioned killing, let’s do it as fast as we can and not have someone struggle for 25 minutes dying.. Come on John Kasich, can’t you do something sensible here? I just had to say my peace.
