I'll judge you for defending a murdering piece of shit like him, and justly. Be ready to die by someone texting while driving all you want, I'd rather see the death penalty for actions like his. No excuse to be so blatantly negligent

You simply don't understand why most people in this country are against the death penalty.

I'm not defending his actions whatsoever, even want to see his sentence extended.

If you'd like to actually read my position as to why I, and most of this country (though perhaps not for the same reasons as me) are against the death penalty, you will see you're being a bit dishonest by saying I'm defending him.

You've literally just repeated the same thing twice.

And it looks like you don't want to actually engage in an honest defence as to why society should have the death penalty.
