HiHo: Kids meet a ballerina! Also HiHo: Kid’s meet someone who had to put people to death for a living! All jokes aside though, I think it’s actually good to introduce kids to heavy topics in an easy, non-scary way, instead of learning about it on places like the news or the internet, where it’s described much more harshly.

[@mcr5truther]

This was really powerful. This made me realize that the people who reinforce the death penalty are practically murders too. It is hard to think and accept that the world is not all sunshine and rainbows. I personally think the death penalty is wrong because it is still taking someone’s life even if they did something wrong. I support prison for life if you do something that awful. Going back to my first point, even if you execute an awful person than it is still killing someone. Let them stick around to suffer. Death is the easy way out.
