    No one who believes in liberty, can endorse state sanctioned murder. I usually have long winded responses, but this will suffice.

    below is the definition of liberty

    1 : the quality or state of being free: a : the power to do as one pleases b : freedom from physical restraint c : freedom from arbitrary or despotic control d : the positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges

    now I cannot think of one good reason why a rapist or murderer should be granted liberty nor do I believe many victims of rape have the pleasure of liberty.

    there are two sides to every coin and to be honest there are valid arguments for both sides. we live in an imperfect society.

    I believe in liberty, as I have fought to protect it.

    Usually we agree with each other, but I do understand why you disapprove of it.

    Sometimes doing the right thing is the wrong thing.

    Let me explain.

    Sometimes there is no "right" answer, but rather two wrong answers.

    Then you need to decide which "wrong" is the righter of the two.

    Sort of a paradox.
