35. I can't cheer the death penalty

Sorry, I'm against it across the board.

I am guardedly glad to see that a white guy who killed black people in cold blood was given a severe sentence though (though I'd prefer life without possibility of parole.) Too many times, people like that get off with very light penalties relevant to the horror and devastation they caused.

As always, my thoughts are with the victims and all those who knew and loved them. That's who matters.
