I do not support the death penalty, but it is gut-wrenching to see the disappointment on the faces of the families. The last thing I wish for them is to feel more pain, and it seems that's exactly what this verdict is doing for many of them.

“No matter how many times the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio testifies against the latest Republican-proposed gun legislation, the outcome is always the same: push the bill forward.”
Mike DeWine claims to be pro-law enforcement, but when it comes to listening to them on matters of public safety he's too weak to stand up to the gun lobby or the other extremists in his own party.
Very special to join advocates I admire like

“More support” from whom, exactly? Not a single Republican voted for it. The bill was already supported by a majority of Americans. But, sure, have fun on all the Sunday shows selling this line of bull.
