Have you personally talked to her? My guess is no. So you don't know what she's showing. I actually am not an advocate for no death penalty, I'm a advocate for taking care of people and seeing the humanity in people instead of throwing them away.

If she's an incurable murderer she would have just been on a killing spree her whole life, wouldn't she? And no, I'm not talking about the person she killed in jail. If she was incurable, there would be a path of destruction in her wake.

And so we should kill her because the family wants it? Should we apply that broadly across the board?

Ignoring people who abuse children is what creates more child victims. People who sexually assault people have often been sexually assaulted themselves. When you don't punish that behavior, you allow it to continue. THAT's what creates more sexual assault victims.

I have dealt with the best and worst of humanity. I think that maybe you are unaware that when people are given external love and support they flourish. We shouldn't condemn people who don't receive that support.

She was sentenced to death most likely because of the 'occult' aspect of it, not because it was so heinous. 25 to life is a pretty standard punishment for murder. She's already served 32 years in jail for a crime she committed before her prefrontal cortex was done developing.

someone for that, you get them help. That's how you break the patterns of abuse. The death penalty is state sanctioned murder. So, should we also put to death the people who put people to death? or do we look at the whole thing with context? Killing a person for being abused doesn't stop abuse

And many people who have been sexually assaulted do the same thing to others. No one is minimizing the severity of her crimes, we're attacking a system wide problem. She was a child that was raped, numerous times. While her brain was developing the very centers for compassion. You don't execute

There is a repeated pattern of people on death row being abused and neglected in childhood or of diminished mental capacity. The point people are making is that the state failed to protect her, the state shouldn't be able to execute her for those crimes. What does killing her do?

The only reason we don't think its nice to speak ill of the dead is because those in power have spent their lives convincing us tat their reputation is more important than the peace of mind of the people they victimized.

With Lindsay Graham, and (eventually) Mitch McConnell's passing, democratic members of the House and Senate will talk about how he was a colleague, some might even call them friends, and therein lies the problem. Dem leadership sees Graham and McConnell as friends, not enemies of the republic.

Most of what we call "AI" is the equivalent of that person who always insists on interrupt you when you're telling a story, and then you have to go back and correct what they inserted. "So I was going to-," "The movies. Yeah me, too. I saw" "No, the bank." "You made a withdrawal, too" "No."

ostracized voices in the conversation, and making sure that womens voices aren't over run in conversations. If a POC, woman, or disabled person is keenly aware that they are the odd man out every time they speak or offer a suggestion, your work place doesn't embrace diversity, it embraces tokenism.

Embracing diversity doesn't mean filling quotas. It means creating an environment where a disabled worker has to do as little thinking about how they are going to get around the office as an able bodied one. It means POCs don't FEEL like they are a diversity hire. It means centering otherwise

I can think of several comedians who openly joked to live audiences about their reprobate behavior, and it still look years (Louis C.K.) or not at all (Arte Lange) for something to be done about it. Both them, and Russell Brand, still play frequently on all of the XM comedy channels.
