Their bloodthirst shall not be slaked

Candidates favor sentencing changes, capital punishment

There is one thing all the gubernatorial candidates agree on -- vote for Taylor! Sorry, they all agree that we need to keep killing people. Because capital punishment works so well, I guess.

Roy Moore actually has some good things to say about sentencing guidelines and abuse of the process by judges and prosecutors, and comes out in favor of alternative sentencing for drug offenders. Of course, he couches it in some of his usual anti-Federal court language.

I have no personal objection to capital punishment, I think that it is a perfectly just punishment for murder. However, I'm not sure that this (or any current) system of criminal justice is competent enough to be given the power to execute people.

That said, if they were strapping Osama into the chair, I'd shed no tears.
