will pay for life

This article has to be a joke, right? I don’t even know where to start when some moral belief – that I happen to disagree with – is stopped due to funding. Doesn’t this imply that these bill drafters are soft on crime? Isn’t killing someone the only way to strap-on our holster and prove we’re bad asses? It seems that if they can put some money in the coffers, for whatever purpose, then the death penalty isn’t actually a necessity to fight crime. How about convicting the people and sentencing them to life without parole? Not enough of a punishment? Nice.
