On this date, 11 June
2001, Timothy McVeigh A.K.A as the Oklahoma City Bomber was executed by lethal
injection at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. I chose
this quote from Jeff Jacoby as the Pro-Death Penalty of the week.

QUOTE: Why is it barbaric to
require that one who violently steals the life of an innocent (or 168
innocents) not be allowed to keep his own? Where is the moral tradition that
prescribes life for mass-murderers? How can it be civilizing to tell the
world's worst people that no matter no matter how many victims they butcher, no
matter what cruelty they inflict on others, the worst that will happen to them
is that they will go to prison? Those are questions that abolitionists never
answer. [Jeff
Jacoby, Boston Globe Columnist. "The feeble 'arguments' against capital
punishment". Jewish World Review. 19 June 2001]
AUTHOR: Jeff Jacoby (born February 10, 1959)
