This guy should be put to death. That would be the best closure for the families. honest.abe Oct 2022 #7

Except that it doesn't actually bring closure. Ms. Toad Oct 2022 #43

It is unfortunate the process takes so long. honest.abe Oct 2022 #48

The process takes so long because when we move faster, we murder innocent people. Ms. Toad Oct 2022 #52

You make some good points. honest.abe Oct 2022 #99
