    Life imprisonment I have always felt is the crueler of the punishments. A stretched out monotony that makes a day last the rest of a lifetime that warps and mushes the brain.

    But also I do still get making a statement out of the death penalty for direct statements of what a society will not accept.

      It’s not about cruelty. Its about keeping others safe from a very evil (Objectively) person. It’s not about statements, either. It’s about halting the spread of fascism.
