Letter to the editor: Death penalty warranted for killers

Regarding the article “Shapiro calls for ban of death penalty in Pennsylvania” (Feb. 16, TribLIVE): Gov. Josh Shapiro must never have lost someone to gun violence. Every life has meaning; when you take a life, your life should not be spared. Why should taxpayers pay for someone who will never be good for society? This is why there are so many repeat offenders.

I lost my husband to a drunk driver. He is out walking around. My husband is in the cemetery.

Thanks, Gov. Shapiro, for letting these bums walk the streets.
