New Jersey’s Death Penalty
Our lawmakers in Trenton have seen fit to abolish the death penalty for those guilty of the most heinous crimes, but have no qualms about taxing innocent citizens to death.

The momentum to repeal capital punishment has been building in New Jersey since January, when a 13-member legislative commission recommended its abolition. The panel, which included two prosecutors, a police chief, members of the clergy and a man whose daughter was murdered in 2000, cited serious concerns about the imperfect nature of the justice system and the chance of making an irreversible mistake. The commission also concluded, quite correctly, that capital punishment is both a poor deterrent and “inconsistent with evolving standards of decency.”
Your comment about "taxing us to death" is insulting.
Are you insulted because you are an executioner of tax policy or because you are a member of the mob who enthusiastically cheers while people are taxed to death?

Care to comment on the timing of capital punishment repeal, or are you untroubled that our elected solons gutlessly avoided the topic during the campaign season when voters might actually hold them to account?
Avoiding debate on the subject seems *insulting*, but, hey, that's just me.
What we need are torches and pitch forks descending upon Trenton. Literally.
Only when the government fears the citizenry (Instead of the other way round.) will there be change in Trenton.
