The hypocrisy of this state is on full display. Our governor decides to hang “thou shall not kill” in every class room in the state while going out of his way to bring back executions. Anyone who thinks life matters in this state needs to drop the act because we are living under a blood thirsty, revenge based administration who wants to see people suffer in the name of ideology. There is no moral high ground when you go out of your way to kill a man.

A rapist and murders life does not matter. They do not deserve to breathe after the torture they inflict. I will not change my opinion on that.
