Journal Entry
English 101
Today we got into a
heated debate about jail sentencing and the death penalty which I’m all for in
some instances. The only people that I think truly deserve the death penalty or
life is child molesters, rapist and murderers. Some argued that jail might turn
them around for a second chance because everybody deserves one, but what would
stop a killer or rapist from killing or raping again. The only reason I would
say a person shouldn’t get life or the death penalty is if it is an accidental
murder. Like the case when 12 year Lionel Tate was sentenced to life after
performing a wrestling move on Tiffany Eunick taking her life at 6 years old. I
say boys will be boys with the rough housing and fooling around not to say his
actions are inexcusable but he an adolescent was as an adult in a court of law
and he got life in prison. Of course you have to take in to consideration that
her family will never have their daughter again but I truly don’t believe that
it was on purpose. On a lighter note my
group and I did our first grammar schammar presentation on Run-Ons and Comma
Splices. We did a power point and we had a multiple choice worksheet on that
topic. I think we did pretty good overall.
Oh my goooodness big terrrrel gettin controversial! But I appreciated the reference to Lionel Tate, I can tell that you're very informed about the world around you!
