A Canadian Coalition against the American Death Penalty
From Stilleto Philosophy's Carlene, who's also just suffered a death in her family, comes Californian Death Row Inmates by a group called the Canadian Coalition Against the Death Penalty. Which raises issues on its own without even getting any further.

Yes, folks, these people are giving murderers web pages to make their pleas to the masses that they're innocent. Read all about Richard Allen Davis and how he's enjoying prison and hoping to fall in love. Davis, as some of you might recall, was convicted for the abduction and murder of Polly Klaas (link to the foundation started in her memory). His history (that he didn't write) is right here. I don't know but I think I find the idea of giving criminals a soapbox a bit repugnant. Davis, in particular, is a reprehensible man who shouldn't be on death row, he should be dead.

These are predators and are being given an outlet, an access point to the rest of the world. Why? So they can proclaim their innocence again? Maybe some of them are innocent but the majority were clearly convicted, there's no question that Davis killed Polly Klaas (or so little as to not have any meaning).

And while everyone's entitled to their opinions about the death penalty, I am entitled to my own as well. I've gone on record before as saying I believe in the death penalty. I firmly believe that there are crimes that should mean you forfeit your right to life for having committed. I think I've already written about this at least once. Maybe I'll go dig that up and republish it again.
