Reply to comment by [deleted] in DA to seek death penalty against man accused of fatally shooting McKeesport officer by OaSoaD

I'm pretty much just against the death penalty in general except in really rare cases. Neither of these fit for me.

As long as we have the death penalty it will always be enacted in an unfair way because we have an unfair system. Imo it should no longer be used in the U.S.

Eh. Calvin Crew is about as clear cut a case of, "if we're going to even have a death penalty - this is who it's for" as we're going to see.

If we're not going to kill him, then just end the damn death penalty altogether.

Ambushing a public servant doesn’t make the cut?

What exactly does??

Some sort of mass casualty event I think. I don't really know. I more or less lean towards no death penalty but would possibly reserve the right.

Gotcha. Got me thinking some. Genuinely curious. Is there a number when it because “mass” enough?

This guy attempted to kill two other officers including shooting one in the face.

It's more than two.

That's a heinous crime and I'm fine with him being locked up forever.
