Comment on Christa Pike at 18 years old when she was sentenced to death. She is now 50 and they are supposed to kill her this week

That’s the whole issue. It’s like 50% actual narcissists without remorse and 50% just sad circumstances all around.

The death penalty is an extremely cruel way to “get rid of the problem” by fighting the symptom. But to get there, so many things would have gone wrong, and we should always prioritize fixing those things before ever thinking about punishment.

People love retribution but the truth is you can torture a murderer and that still won’t bring the victim back and even then that’s not satisfying to the victim’s family.
