Timothy McVeigh is guilty of a premeditated horrible crime of mass murder. If a death sentence cannot be defended in the McVeigh matter, it cannot be defended anywhere. But Timothy McVeigh should not be executed. I admit to an overpowering bias against capital punishment. I am opposed to capital punishment under all circumstances, period.
Capital punishment says that the condemned prisoner has NO value . .
NO humanity . . Capital punishment says that the person facing execution should never have been born. Capital punishment says that the government can do what human beings in civilized society cannot do . . Capital punishment batters the family and friends of the condemned inmate, because society cheers the death of their loved one. A huge majority of Americans favor McVeigh's execution.
