I am in favor of the death penalty, and I have personal experience with coping with a horrific crime. In 2004, I was in a relationship with a woman before I moved to Alberta. I kept in contact with her until 2006. Anyway, she was driven outside of Winnipeg by her boyfriend at the time, murdered by him and 2 other men he paid off, one of which was his own brother on a Valentines Day date in 2007. The reason? She was pregnant, and did not want to have an abortion (she was pressured to).
I have seen first hand, the carnage it leaves behind. I often wonder, and feel guilt about what I could have done to prevent such a tragic fate. I keep thinking even if it did not work out between us, could I not have introduced her to good people, or done anything?
That's nothing compared to what her poor family is going though. they will never be the same. This may sound weird, but I forgave them. However, I still feel that they should pay the ultimate price. Even Winnipeg police said it was the most brutal murder in "recent memory" that they investigated. Some crimes should be punishable by death.
