give it up Georgia

Can you believe the nerve of some people, questioning our societal right to put people to death as a punishment for their crimes:

“Unfortunately, you have people who say they’re willing to consider the death penalty, but when they get on a jury, it becomes clear that they’re actually death penalty opponents,” said Representative Barry A. Fleming, a Harlem Republican who twice sponsored efforts to revoke the unanimity requirement.

I want to say something more sophisticated than 'jerk' or 'douche', but I'm really having trouble this morning not being angry that someone can be upset that anyone could come in to a trial perhaps undecided, and then come to a decision that maybe, just maybe, the death penalty isn't an appropriate punishment.
Brian Nichols' crimes are heinous. But he can sit it out.
