Last week I was appalled to read that more than half of Canadians would like to see the death penalty brought back.
Tori Stafford was an
eight year old Ontario girl who was abducted by an 18 year old junkie named
Terri-Lynn McClintic for her 31 year old
boyfriend, Michael Thomas Rafferty.
After the punching, the stomping and the brutal rape by Rafferty, the junkie bashed
Tori's head in with a hammer.
The death penalty has been on my mind ever since.
Should it be reinstated?
I would still vote against it.
But I will tell you that if the government announced today that
they were making an exception in this case and McClintic and Rafferty were going to be
put down like sick animals - I wouldn't be at any jailhouse protest marches.
They do not deserve to live.
