Wanted: An Honest Debate About the Death Penalty - dailysignal.com
------
The following two quotes are from books written by Ann Coulter and John Grisham. I don't recall which books I found them in:
- Ann Coulter: "[The death penalty is]...'a primitive act of retribution'...What is primitive about being arraigned, formally charged, tried, convicted by a jury, having that conviction upheld on appeal, and then being executed in a manner far gentler than their victims?...('Okay, it will only sting for a minute, Mr. Bundy!')"
- John Grisham: "In white America, prisons are good places where bad men pay for their crimes. In black America, prisons are often used as warehouses to keep minorities off the streets."
