This month, Connecticut abolished the death penalty. Let's take this moment to look at one of the crimes committed by two people whose lives have been saved by this decision. This crime was an open-and-shut case with no doubt of guilt.
One day, two men decided to burglarize a house. They severely beat up the husband (so that he wasn't even recognizable) and tied him up. They also tied up his two daughters. One of the men forced the wife go to the bank and withdraw $15,000 from her line of credit...and he also bought two cans of gasoline. Upon returning home, the two men raped the wife and her 11-year-old daughter. As they were raping the girls upstairs, the husband downstairs escaped to seek help from a neighbor. The men strangled the raped wife to death, and with gasoline they had gotten earlier, doused the two still-living daughters and the house with gasoline and set the house on fire, incinerating the family (except for the escaped husband).
Again, as I said, the case is open-and-shut, with testimony from the husband, the wife's words to a teller at the bank which called 911, and slow-ass police who were waiting to do anything while the rapes and murders were occurring, only apprehending the criminals one block away from the burning house as they fled. They were on death row.
Congratulations to those who fought for the overturning of the death penalty in Connecticut. You really triumphed this time! And if I have learned anything in my life, it is that evil very often triumphs over good! Because of you, these men can live rent-free, and probably work-free, with the inconvenience of not being able to travel freely. Horrible, I know! And they can eat their daily chicken breast sandwiches for the next 35 years, and you can live smugly in your own made-up world where 20,000+ innocent chickens killed for these men's meals over that time period are more deserving of death than these two murdering rapists.
