we should do it now that's that that should be the uh the way that we go about this and in fact it's even worse it's it's even worse than that because we're not only housing and feeding these people on death row for years and years and years before eventually killing them but on top of that we're actually spending more money on them because these are people who have committed crimes especially someone like dylan roof committed crimes so heinous that to release them into the general population would be just a death sentence in and of itself i wouldn't complain about that either by the way but we're not going to do that and so we've got to specially protect them and preserve their lives just think about how absurd it is we have to make this extra effort to preserve their lives and protect them just so that we can march them to the gurney and kill them it really doesn't make any sense it's ridiculous now so that's how i feel about this as someone who um although i felt differently about the about the death penalty years ago and i have kind of gone back and forth on this as i admit but at this point i'm pretty firmly pro-death penalty so that's that's where i stand on on dylan roof that's a that's an easy one but the interesting thing is that you know there are a lot of people in this country especially on the left who are very much opposed to the death penalty at least they claim that they think the death penalty should be abolished that it's state-sanctioned murder you know they're they're opposed to it in in every case and there's been there have been many monstrous people who have faced the death penalty and have been defended by many people unless including very prominent people members of the squad and so forth have come out in defense of absolute murderous monsters and yet in this case i have heard none of those voices as far as i know i haven't heard any of those people on the left especially the prominent ones come out and say no no this is wrong dylan roof doesn't deserve the death penalty so they make an exception for him which is interesting why do they make the exception well because for one thing they just they don't believe in their own principles in any of their own principles enough to actually stand up and say no this man who who murdered nine uh black people at a church you know should shouldn't shouldn't be uh killed um so they don't they don't believe in their own in their own principles enough for that but also i think they look at a crime like this and they just they they feel that no this is someone who who can't exist on earth anymore you've committed a crime so heinous that you you don't deserve to be defended you don't deserve to live anymore you have forfeited your right to live on this earth you have forfeited your right to be a member of human society what you've done is so heinous that we can't even simply segregate you and keep you in human society we have to remove you completely by your own actions you have made that choice for yourself you've forced our hand i think they look at dylan roof and that's that's what they think and they're right the problem is they can't extend that to
