ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY

The Issue

     This will impact America as a whole, execution is not humane. Nor is it even effective. Brandon Bernard was killed regardless for something he was an accomplice of! You cannot say murder is bad and then try to execute someone to prove that, that on its own is so contradicting. Many countries have already abolished capital punishment, and it is now time for The United States to abolish it as well.  

     No matter how awful a human being is, we cannot cherry pick what crimes are worth and not worth the execution of oneself. Donald Trump has executed more people than any president in 130 years, which has made many people realize how awful it truly is.

     This new administration must work with the Senate and House in order to make this work, we must abolish death penalty once and for all. If not please make the sentences more reasonable. Edmund Kemper had killed 10 people and preformed necrophila on them, yet he is still alive and Brandon is not. 

     Alfred Bourgeois, was executed the day after Brandon, he was a vile human. But he had a mental disability yet was still executed, which is very clearly unconstitutional. No one deserves to die unless it is of natural causes. We must practice what we preach and stop allowing and supporting premeditated murder by the government, because NO ONE has the right to take a life.
