LIFE IMPRISONMENT IS NOT JUSTICE FOR MASS MURDERERS [PRO DEATH PENALTY QUOTE OF THE WEEK ~ SUNDAY JUNE 8, 2014 TO SATURDAY JUNE 14, 2014]



On this date, June 11, 2001, Timothy McVeigh A.K.A as the Oklahoma City Bomber was executed by lethal injection at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. We chose this quote from Jeff Jacoby as the Pro-Death Penalty of the week. 


Jeff Jacoby
QUOTE: Why is it barbaric to require that one who violently steals the life of an innocent (or 168 innocents) not be allowed to keep his own? Where is the moral tradition that prescribes life for mass-murderers? How can it be civilizing to tell the world's worst people that no matter no matter how many victims they butcher, no matter what cruelty they inflict on others, the worst that will happen to them is that they will go to prison? Those are questions that abolitionists never answer. [Jeff Jacoby, Boston Globe Columnist. "The feeble 'arguments' against capital punishment". Jewish World Review. 19 June 2001]

AUTHOR: Jeff Jacoby (born February 10, 1959) is an American journalist and syndicated newspaper columnist.
