Quote:You are damn straight I do. I don't care if it makes me a little person, because it is a logical choice. Life isn't happiness and rainbows, sunshine. There are some bad people out there. This guy had a long arrest record and DID have convictions. So what exactly did he provide for society? What did he do to benefit you, the state, or otherwise? Did he have a future? Did it look like he was heading down a productive path? He may have, but not now, not after following the path of crime most of his adult life. Statistically speaking, he was most likely going to end up in prison.

 

You help those who help themselves. I will sympathize for those who deserve it. Maybe your religion or political ideology tells you to value all life equally, and good for you. I see things differently.
