I oppose the death penalty, but I didn't always feel that way. I understand the people who support it - because I once was one of them. But either way, the death penalty staged as a public spectacle is an abomination and stains us all. Hegseth on Nidal Hasan: "He's gonna get a firing squad of soldiers. As it should be.
