Death penalty opponents launch new protest

DOVER — “The people. United. Will never be defeated.”

So chanted those gathered outside Legislative Hall Monday for the first “Moral Monday” protest.

Holding signs, a dozen protesters positioned themselves at the west entrance steps around noon to voice their opposition to the death penalty and perceived racial injustice in Delaware.

Passers-by entering and exiting the building appeared to take little notice of the chants or signs.

It was the first of what organizers plan to be a series of Monday protests aimed at bringing attention to what they believe are systemic problems in Delaware.

The first small gathering came Monday, with most of the action coming in the first 45 minutes or so of what originally was scheduled to be a two-hour event.

I bet if it was a thug that murdered their family member nobody would be on those hypocritical steps.

A more liberal death penalty is what we need.
The gun toting thugs would think twice before pulling that trigger
