The people of California know that you can not be sensitive to murderers. The death penalty is the answer.
"And despite Californias reputation as a liberal state, its voters, all other things equal, like their AGs to be as hard-line on crime as possible, particularly in how they feel about the death penalty. In a July 2010 Field Poll, 70 percent of Californians said they support the legality of the death penalty. So any candidate seen as soft on the issue starts in a hole.
Thats why in this historically Democratic state, the Democratic candidate for AG, a twice-elected San Francisco district attorney, Kamala Harris, is widely thought to face an uphill battle in November against Los Angeles DA Steve Cooley. In contrast to Cooley, who is an unambiguous supporter of the death penalty, Harris personally opposes capital punishment, typically favoring life without parole.
Harris has pledged to carry out capital punishment whenever her office handles a death row appeal, the same stance as current Democratic AG (and gubernatorial nominee) Jerry Brown, who also personally opposes the death penalty. But Harris reputation for hesitancy in seeking capital punishment could be one of the biggest challenges shell face on the campaign trail."
Steve Cooley has asked for the death penalty many times. Kamela Harris did not ask for the death penalty for those who killed a cop.
Which one best represents you and a safe society?
