And, frankly, I don't care. I'm quite clear that I don't deserve to kill them.<br /><br />One way or another those decisions get made. <br /><br />And as I think I've said before, if Dr. Petit managed to kill them himself, I'd be deeply sympathetic and would willingly defend him. I understand the desire for vengeance. That doesn't make it something the state should engage in. Again, you're free to disagree.Jeff Gamsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869425697771419546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945843206427351559.post-31818645583922123112015-08-14T10:28:37.880-04:002015-08-14T10:28:37.880-04:00No, it's not for them. It's for us. It&#...No, it's not for them. It's for us. It's for not making us killers. It's for saying we're better than that. It's for not being the people who claim to know who deserves to live and who deserves to die. And not incidentally, it's for not infecting the memory of the dead and the loss to their family and friends with more loss to other family and friends (and yes, even vicious folk have family and friends who will mourn them).<br /><br />I celebrate any life saved - not for the person saved, but for the rest of us.<br /><br />Don't want to agree? That's fine.
