Death penalty drooling on Talk Radio

No surprise here. Supporters of the death penalty - egged on

    by radio talk show lowbrows like our " independent man " -have been

    re-energized by the horrible murder of " socialite " Alexandra  Zapp

    by psychopath Burger King cook Leahy.  Alexandra was a truly beautiful

    person and Leahy a dangerous creep before the cold blooded murder.

               But details of ANY murder hardly add  cogency to the pro-

    death penalty argument - which is in substance little more than the

    emotional need for revenge. I note that CLASS PREJUDICE plays a role

    in reaction to the socialite's murder: If she were a cleaning lady from

    Puerto Rico, would the reaction had been as emotional ?

               If she had been a very ordinary working class woman, would

    we have heard shameless talk  from LAWYERS about twisting the state

    law to get the monster Leahy a death sentence ?

              As usual there is no thought given to possible  UNTREATED

    mental illness here. For fans of the electric chair, the root of evil

    is just EVIL - no such thing as a wrongly wired brain !

              The family of Alexandra Zapp hopes that her wonderful life

    and tragic death will serve some purpose : Let it not be greater support

    for the death penalty !
