btw: if they would have gotten rid of her at the time of sentencing, she would have never gotten brain cancer. Blame our justice system.

I don't think I ever said that she didn't deserve to be punished or serve the rest of her life in prison. I don't support the death penalty, regardless of crime, because I think it's barbaric and it doesn't serve as a deterrent because every criminal thinks he's smarter or better and won't get caught. I also don't like to speak in terms of "getting rid" of people by killing them.
I don't get how you think she has favor with me? You are jumping to conclusions. I commented that her life had some value (all lives have value) and that she had done some good works that even the families of the victims acknowledged. I also commented that it was horrible to die of brain cancer and I expressed sorrow for her family in their time of loss. Seeing as I don't figure her family committed any crimes, it's not really wrong to express sympathy, is it?
I also commented that brain cancer is painful and to force someone to go through that with no type of health care is cruel.
You know, you say you don't care about Susan Atkins, but your posts indicate that you care very deeply.
My points are beliefs that I hold for all people, regardless of whether or not they're in prison. It has very little to do with the actual case at hand.
