This buffoon says 'Intentional killing of another person is wrong!!"....So, what about Death Row inmate that killed another person...What about families of the victims???..How can you look in their eyes and say that murder of your loved one didnt mean a thing,and the person who committed this murder deserves to live and your loved one doesnt!!!???????

Colorado lawmakers consider ending little-used death penalty
and comuting the sentences of the 3 people on death row
First-term Democratic Gov. Jared Polis
(who is "gay" and refers to his "pardner" as his "husband") supports the 2019 bill. John Hickenlooper, Polis’ predecessor and a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, indefinitely delayed the execution of one of three people on Colorado’s death row in 2013. Hickenlooper said he had doubts about the fairness of the death penalty and problems in obtaining the drugs required for lethal injection.
(no problem--I would volunteer to be on the firing squad and supply my own weapon and ammo) Denver Sen. Angela Williams, a bill sponsor, emphasized the fact that all three facing death in Colorado are African Americans as ample evidence of historic racial inequities in the criminal justice system. She also pointed to the difficulty of getting death penalty convictions — a unanimous jury verdict is required — and the cost.
“Our criminal justice system demonstrates racial bias at every step of the process, from the point of arrest all the way through to the point of executions for heinous crimes,” Williams said at a Capitol news conference Tuesday.
She was referring to Nathan Dunlap, sentenced to die for the ambush slayings of four people inside an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1993; and Robert Ray and Sir Mario Owens, convicted of killing Javad Marshall-Fields and his fiancée, Vivian Wolfe, as they drove on a suburban Denver street in 2005.
Marshall-Fields was the son of Rhonda Fields, a former House representative and now a Democratic senator who has vocally supported the death penalty. Marshall-Fields and Wolfe were graduates of Colorado State University.
