Biden just commuted the death sentence of a piece of shit who raped and
murdered three females, two of them small children, because 'the death
penalty is wrong',

 
I've always opposed the death penalty, not for moral reasons (some people
are in fact evil and need kill'n) but because it's impossible for the legal system
to get it right 101% of the time and there's no "do overs" with an execution.

 
There's no do-overs for a life spent behind bars, either.

 
Of course there is. At least there is the potential of getting out and
having some time alive and outside the bars.

Not if you're serving life without parole and you do the whole stretch and
are carried out in a pine box. If it turns out you were innocent, where's
the do-over.

Yes, but if the person is alive as with the people that were just
pardoned then there is still a chance they could be set free.

Wasn't there another man

released just recently after spending around 30 years behind bars
after being wrongly convicted. He wouldn't have that do-over, such as
it is, if he had been executed. Hell, they probably would have never
discovered that he was wrongly convicted if he had been executed.
 
Now it doesn't make up for the time lost while in prison but at least
there is that chance at freedom if you aren't on death row.
 

while at the same time, literally millions of his voters are cheering for the
street-side execution of a businessman because'healthcare reform', or
something.

 
I can't support murdering anyone but I do get why some are cheering
for that CEOs death giving how badly the company treats people who
paid them money to get health care coverage to only have the claim
rejected by the company.

So the death penalty is evil and a guy who rapes and murders kids doesn't
deserve to be executed , but a businessman with questionable ethics is so
horrible that executing him without charges or trial on a city street is
perfectly cool.

I don't know how you got that from what I said because that goes
against what I said. Murder isn't cool even if the guy was the CEO of
a health insurance company known for refusing claims. That said, it
makes sense many people would be upset with any CEO of a health
insurance company given the way they tend to treat their customers
when they need to make a claim. Again, none of it justifies killing
the guy, but you knew that was my position all along.
