Re: Thoughts on the death penalty?
Even if a serial killer had no remorse, I wouldn't feel confident deciding if he has the right to live.
Perhaps neurotic/psychotic/anti-social tendencies are inborn. Or maybe serial killers were beat or abused as young children. I would support solitary confinement. The US prison system is bullshit. We send way too many people to prison for small drug chargers and minor offenses. We really should just make these people do community service. We could lower the prison costs and get rid of death row and keep the real killers incarcerated for life.
I'm also for getting rid of parole, especially for serial killers or first degree murder that was clearly intentional.
