First is the grief then loneliness and hoeing around. Then even more loneliness and sadness cus no one compares. Lots of comfort food, drinking/smoking. Looking and feeling like shit. Feeling hopeless and sorry for yourself. Crying randomly. Then hoeing around some more...slowly your heart aches less, you realise that the outside world or another person is not going to give you what you need. You look at the things you neglected while being in the sweet oblivion of love and also the shattered pieces from when your heart broke...and you pick them up, one by one. In this process, you heal. Your heart won't be the same that it was before, but it's alright.

The criminal justice system is incredibly biased and flawed. Capital punishment is expensive because the system is biased and flawed. More expensive than life imprisonment.

Fix the bias and flaws then we can consider it more widely for certain crimes.

Support it in principle. Oppose it in practice. Too many innocent people executed. And it is not an acceptable price to pay to punish the genuinely guilty. To me it is no different than cops firing their weapons indiscriminately into a crowd to gun down a bad guy. Sure they might hit him but how many innocent bystanders did they take with him? If you can’t accept that scenario, then you can’t accept the death penalty as it exists. But you can still support the concept.
