| There is all the tragedy in putting to death a murderer. All the tragedy in that what are supposed to be civilized human beings stooping to the level of such disrespect to human life. Leave the unflinching brutality and contempt to the right of all to live to the Mullahs in the middle east, or to the North Korean police.
Doubly so when it comes to children. Sarge, you're a sick man you know that? I don't mean to be personally contumelious or defamatory to you in anyway when I say that, but the open support of the execution of minors truly is sick. If anyone that should be spared from the ruthless vindictiveness of such a policy, it should be those who are not morally culpable for their crimes. Namely minors and those with mental disabilities which would render them so.
Minors are young, ignorant, and significantly immature. The minor commiting murder will undoubtedly be changed in thirty or fourty years. What right does a government of the people, by the people, and for the people have to decide to take or give life? No, there is all the tragedy in putting to death a murderer, and doubly so a minor. There is all the tragedy and injustice tied into the moral support of such an attrocity such as this.
