TX is a state that has very overwhelming support for capital punishment. I think it's well into the 80% range. It's the law there and, AFAIK, the governor cannot even commute a death sentence unless recommended by the state pardon board. Bottom line is that TX means business wrt capital murder. Like Jeff Higgins suggested, states should sell raffle or lotto tickets for folks to assist with executions. I know I'd buy a few. |
That's fine by me. Mine is not a post against the death penalty. It's a state law. TX means business. Be aware. And you can think whatever you want.
I was just wondering how religious people justify that. That's all. Clearly you dont give a rat's ass about religion or Christianity. Which is fine.
Maybe all the church going is just a facade...
I am myself pretty liberal (from liberalism, not democrat!) and you guys can decide whatever you want to do as long as it makes you happy.
