The Death Penalty: Moral or Barbaric?

Other, perhaps, than on my elementary school playground several decades ago, I don’t believe I have ever struck another human being. The epidemic of Males resorting to brutalizing their Female Mates fills me with disgust. Indeed should I discover a spider crawling across my bathroom floor, I frequently let it go on its merry way, unwilling to end the life of any innocent entity. [I must admit to having killed the odd spider.] The murder of perfectly innocent Human Beings for political reasons, therefore, incites in me such moral outrage that I am quite comfortable with the Death Sentence as an appropriate legal response.

On the evening of May 21 in Washington D. C., Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two ethnic Jews who had just attended an event at a Jewish Museum, were murdered by Elias Rodriguez who had flown in from Chicago the previous day to express his outrage with the situation in the Middle East. Shouting “Free Palestine” as he was led away by the police, he had killed two utterly innocent human beings for political reasons! Yaron, who had converted to Christianity, was apparently planning to propose to Sarah in the near future. Photos of the sweet young couple have filled me with both intense sadness and moral outrage. As there is no doubt that Rodriguez was their killer, a trial seems to me utterly unnecessary. As he arrogantly put his own political views ahead of the lives of two innocent human beings, his execution seems to me perfectly justifiable. There is no room for moral degenerates such as he on this planet. There is no room for the slimy racism that motivates Hamas. These statements are born not of Hatred but of an awareness of Man’s capacity for Reason and Moral Integrity. That the Death Penalty is seen by “progressives” as an act of barbarism stems from their apparent rejection of this ontological definition of the species. To the Inclusive Left, we are little more than monkeys shaped by our environment who ought never to be held accountable for the quality of our thoughts and actions, indeed who ought to simply love each other without reservation.

It is those of this mindset that have bequeathed us this wonderful, crime ridden world in which we now live. Crime, both petty and horrific, in the conspicuously liberal state of California, is so out of control that people are choosing to move elsewhere. While examples abound of the Left’s pervasive indifference to the Rule of Law, nothing better illustrates this than the 2022 murder of 11 innocent people by the Indigenous Myles Sanderson, a drug addicted Saskatchewan native who had been arrested and convicted 59 times only to be released on each and every occasion. Empathy for Sanderson’s condition as a “victim” killed 11 innocent Indigenous on that Sept. 4. Canada’s “tolerant” justice system killed them. Indeed the moral nihilism of the self-righteous Left is responsible not only for such avoidable atrocities, but for the moral decline of Western Civilization itself.
