Conversations about the death penalty

JUNE 13 — It’s encouraging to see that last week the Cabinet agreed to abolish the mandatory death penalty in the country.

Capital punishment sounds absolutely tit-for-tat. Tom killed Dick’s parents, so Dick wants Tom dead too. That’s it. No forgiveness, no healing, no reconciliation. I found it remarkable that these same people usually have no qualms insisting that murderers should be spared the gallows. Yet somehow when children are abused, punishments like chemical castration and/or being locked away forever don’t suffice.
