Reason # 46 for the death penalty

I don't like to comments on "alleged" acts of violence before we know all the facts. But let me just speculate on a hypothetical.

Let's say there's a deranged husband that stabs his wife to death and he decides it's a good idea to set his home on fire while his four kids are still in the home (ages 8,4 & 3 year old twins).

The kids die from the fire, some charred while the emergency room people are trying to keep them alive (I know this from second hand info from Mrs. Gekko's co workers at the hospital).

This guy has reserved himself a special place in hell and I'd like to think we can put him there.

I for one, really like the idea that the perp be put to death the same way his victims died....lethal injection is too nice for some of these monsters.

If there was ever a case for the libs to come out against the death penalty it would be ones like this. It would at least prove their commitment to a principle. Same for when Timothy McVeigh was put to death.

But these are cases when you won't hear a peep. Because deep down, even hard core liberals have a soft spot for capital punishment. And when the crime fits the appropriate "profile" the libs are the first ones in line to flip the switch for ultimate justice.
