This is one of the dark and eerie drawbacks of the death penalty: It turns executions into these cathartic culture war spectacles. The humanity of the person is totally obscured by symbolism — it's no longer killing a person, it's just owning the libs. Just a game. — PolitiTweet.org

And I get it: fuck the libs, soft on crime, what if it were your family (actually, my sister-in-law was murdered in 2016) etc, etc. But human life shouldn't be one of the chips in the whole culture war game. That sucks! — PolitiTweet.org
