Federal Government to Resume Execution of Death Row Inmates

[InTheLight]

Attorney General Bill Barr said Thursday the federal government will resume capital punishment and will move forward with plans to execute five inmates on death row for the first time in more than 15 years.

The Justice Department said Barr has directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to adopt a proposed addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol that will clear the way for the executions. Barr has also directed the bureau of prisons to schedule the executions of five death-row inmates.

OK, it's been 15 years since the last execution. Why start this up again?

Because we never should have stopped it.

It seems "cruel" but

Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

A report I saw tonight said that 5 years ago Obama started an investigation into the use of it. Bar said that is now over it is time to move on.
