Pope Francis just called life without parole an alternate form of the death penalty. Because it is.pic.twitter.com/2DVxkI0lXo
I bring this up because, as a reporter who's covered the death penalty, I'm always confused when advocates bring up life without parole.
Life without is still a death sentence. It just takes a little bit longer.
@aurabogado Some have committed horrendous crimes, so horrendous that life without parole seems justified. You disagree?
@NUFCfanatic1892 I do disagree—but so does the state. People commit HORRENDOUS crimes all the time and aren't even prosecuted.
@aurabogado Maybe I've missed some tweets. You are against both the death penalty and against life without parole?
@NUFCfanatic1892 I'm personally against the death penalty; I'm personally against life without parole, which is a form of the death penalty.
@aurabogado Sorry if I was asking too personal a question before. I didn't mean to pry in what must be a very emotional and sensitive topic
@NUFCfanatic1892 it's all good :)
