HAPPY 101ST BIRTHDAY, ERNEST VAN DEN HAAG [PRO DEATH PENALTY QUOTE]



 

Ernest Van Den Haag

QUOTE: “Imagine if a state announced that murders committed Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays would be punishable by execution and murders committed the other days of the week would be punishable by imprisonment. Would murder rates remain the same as they are now on all the days of the week? I doubt it.”
