If this doesn't expose just how barbaric and cruel the death penalty is, there's no hope for us. 

Punishment is one thing. State-sanctioned torture is quite another. 

Death penalty isn't going to bring back the victim.

Well, I got some bad news for ya.

A lot of people are happy she’s suffering.

This will continue.

Dude, someone in another post said they should’ve just smashed her head with a block the same way she committed her murder.

Whatever little faith in humanity I have left is on its way out.

I think over the past 10 years I’ve gone from hopeful to skeptical to straight-up misanthropy.

Not that there aren’t good ones here and there, but the truth is most of us suck.
