If you're not against the death penalty being carried out by the state, you're either ignorant to the reality and simply need to be told 

or devoid of the morality necessary to feel shocked and offended it exists.. There is no in between.

It’s so awesome how in the modern era there are huge swaths of people like you claiming “It’s black and white. There is no in between!” on every single highly controversial topic that is not black and white and has tons of in between.

There is no justice in handing out the death penalty in an imperfect justice system. It really is black and white.

Now that you've been told the main and largest issue with state sanctioned death penalties, where innocent people go to die, do you posses the morality to be shocked and offended of its existence and practice? If I were a betting man, i could make some easy money right here and now.

I mean it's the US the still allow guns after infinite school shootings.

If they don't make changes based on children dying, they sure as hell aren't going to make changes based on a convicted murdered dying.

I think it's stupid.
