Zorn's atrocious Three Little Words
We get it that Trib columnist Eric Zorn is OK with the death penalty for heinous killers whose guilt is indisputable. His support for killing the death penalty in Illinois 8 years ago stems strictly on practical grounds it sometimes murders innocents, is influenced by racism, doesn't deter murderers and is more expensive than life in prison. Many folks of good will hold that opinion. But Zorn goes further in his column on killer Brendt Christensen by stating "Yes, he deserved it (death penalty). He deserves worse". The only thing one can surmise from those last three little words is that Christensen deserves being tortured before being executed. Zorn has every right to hold that belief. As an influential pundit he should be ashamed of admitting that belief and wish to his thousands of readers.
