5. I am sure that must be very difficult for you.

Post traumatic stress is very real for a lot of us.

I have a hard time with deaths of innocent people via murder. Having been very close to a horrible situation involving the death of a very dear and much loved 18 year old girl (child really) I can truly understand the call for the death penalty from those who read the news reports.
Having been that close I find myself explaining over and over again that even having looked into the dark hollow eyes of a cold blooded murderer, knowing 100% his guilt, I would not grant him the death penalty! He should and will rot in jail.

The cost? .. cheaper to jail for life than it is to carry out an execution. The facts and numbers are readily available.


Sorry, I didn't mean to hi-jack your post.

I'm really sorry that you're having to relive past horrors. I hope this go round passes more quickly for you. They say time heals all things. "they" lie.


kesha.
