That’s what happens when you value institutions over people.

Given that we live in real life, and nothing is perfect, you would rather see some innocent people be executed. The only other alternative is being against the death penalty. If you’re for the death penalty, then you’re for some innocent people being executed.
I’m for justice to be carried out. There are people on death row who certainly deserve to die for the violent crimes they committed against innocent victims.
Our system may not be perfect but it’s the best one we have.
Life in prison is justice. Our system is what got Sedley Alley killed by the state. If it’s the best we’ve got, then we need to find a better one.
You’re welcome to leave and/or avoid traveling to states and nations with death penalties.
And you’re welcome to leave and go someplace that I’m not trying to improve
No, I prefer to stay and advocate for the victims of those you would protect.
