    I would prefer he not be granted clemency, he showed no mercy to these young boys

    Its a common argument in this case and others like it. We might ask ourselves if killing a human being is really the way to demonstrate that killing is wrong.
    We also need to ask ourselves what circumstances, what social circumstances create people like Ron Smith in the first place...create violent people - and what can we do to change?
