It's like 9:00 in the morning and I am sitting here watching the Today Show (don't judge me) and they just mentioned Kenneth Lee Boyd who was the 1,000th man to be executed in the United States.

"The execution of Kenneth Boyd has not made this a better or safer world," his attorney, Thomas Maher, said. "If this 1,000th execution is a milestone, it's a milestone we should all be ashamed of." - CNN.com

Now on one level I agree with this quote, which they quoted on the air on the Today Show, and on another level I don't. I do not feel ashamed for this man's death. 1) Obviously he is a bad man. (yet still no reason to kill him) 2) I do not support the death penalty. I feel dissappointed in all the people who support the death penalty who should be ashamed. If you support it, then you're a part of it. This man killed two people, true but if you support the death penalty, it's like you're killing him. Everyone in the U.S. who supports this basically killed him all at once. A mass murder. What does this say about the people who support the death penalty though? "Killing people is bad so we're gonna kill you." (insert southern accent and a beer in hand) Makes sense doesn't it? All of America should mourn the death of this man for one reason or another. Afterall, he was a human life.
