If the victim finds it appropriate to offer then ok. The issue here is the package deal, not all death row inmates are equal. One is a monster that molested and killed a number a number of children, another is an idiot that played knight rider and ended up crashing into a group of people. As an unrelated (not a victim) observer, I’m fine for mercy and forgiveness for the second type, provided victims agree. I’m definitely not fine giving a chance to get out on the streets to the first type. |

I will admit to having a lot of fear about how the cultural swells are cresting right now, and I'm hanging my hopes on some sort of rediscovery of repair/mercy/forgiveness/mutability. I fear that without these, there's no way through these overlapping cultural clashes , both in America and more generally in the world.
Not that you owed me anything, but your response made me feel a little more hopeful than your original comment (which I don't begrudge you in the slightest, just being honest about where I'm coming from). Which is to say: thanks
Anyhow, I hope you're well over the holidays!
