I don't have to see a murder in order to condemn murder.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.
I do not think that condemning people who murder and killing them necessarily sends out the right message.
I don't believe in murder.
In the harshest possible terms, I condemn political killings.
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that's something no police in the world can spot.
It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.
Murder is an offensive act. The term cannot be applied legitimately to any defensive act.
I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.
If we are to abolish the death penalty, I should like to see the first step taken by my friends the murderers.
