    Read the rest of what I said. There is no doubt here. I do think the death penalty should require a higher standard of guilt. But some people, through their actions, simply have forfeited their right to live.

      Glad to have it straight from the moral arbiter of the universe, someone who feels they can personally determine, from a safe distance, whether someone has forfeited their life. Otherwise Iā€™d be seriously worried the state was carrying out a horribly immoral practice that regularly results in murder of innocents in order to deliver, at best, the short-lived false victory of vengeance, for the low priceof permanently extinguishing of a human life. Which Iā€™ll remind you doesnā€™t bring back their victims.

          I know, me pointing out that the pompous way you phrased your opinion made it sound like you thought you were expounding on universal truths isnā€™t going to stop you. It wasnā€™t intended to. Maybe if you donā€™t want pushback next time, avoid the phrase ā€œhave forfeited their right to live.ā€
