Death Penalty temperature gauge - Do You Support the Death Penalty?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Completely 100% oppose. It's the one issue I see in complete right vs. wrong framing.

Although the Dunn trial wasn't a death penalty case, FWIW.

But if they had sought the death penalty, yes, I would have been against the state executing Michael Dunn's pathetic racist ass. It makes no difference what the person has done, I see no reason or purpose in executing that person. It will always be an evil institution, no matter the evil deeds of the condemned person.

For that matter, as much of a despicable person as Dunn is, I don't want to see him assaulted or killed in prison. I don't think he needs to be denied visitation from his children, despite denying Jordan Davis' family that opportunity. I simply want to see him locked away for the rest of his life. And hopefully one day he'll accept his fate and understand that his actions are wrong. And maybe he'll get the forgiveness of Jordan Davis' family at some point down the road, but that's for them to give.
