"I have recall-gavin-newsom-sticker-shock!" (me!) sandra, tvgp

... has estimated the costs to administer the recall election of Governor Gavin Newsom to be

$276 million....

!?!?!?

and i got out my readers to magnify... and i double-checked with two neighbors..

and, i absolutely wish to see him recalled; it cannot happen fast enough.. but WOW! to the cost...

i have recall-gavin-newson-sticker-shock.

and then i got to thinkin'

what does it cost annually to provide shelter, 3 free meals a day, free medical care, free dental care, free laundry service and free recreation to richard allen davis, alive and well on death row in san quentin prison? and what has it cost law abiding, tax paying citizens annually from the onset of his sentence?

1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021...

i could not seem to come up with a clear answer from my own online research, and so did send an email, and await response.

but of course, i do believe we could make up for this hideous $276 million, by implementing the death penalty California citizens voted for TWICE, only to have gavin sign an executive moratorium.

richard allen davis broke into a home, kidnapped an innocent 12 year old girl, violated and strangled her to death. he told police where they could find her body. we know without a doubt he is responsible for this

i never feel like i can find a word that communicates the level of evil accurately...

for this -atrocious crime.

to execute the death penalty in this case -which should have taken place who knows how many years ago..

but i do not regard the death penalty as murder (unlawful, premeditated taking of an innocent life with malice/intention). i do not regard the death penalty as evil for evil.. which to me would be kidnapping/murdering an offspring of his to seek revenge, and show him what it feels like..

i do believe some crimes are so atrocious, so heinous, that if you commit them, no matter what long, hard, sad story and list of excuses you might have, - you officially forfeit your right to share the planet with the rest of us. -and home invasion; kidnapping; violating/murdering a 12 year old falls in this category.

and we have already lawfully employed the justice system in this case...

i believe, as a Christian, the death penalty, in the case of richard allen davis, belongs to the scripture which reads, "we overcome evil with good."

and it would be very good, for Polly Klaas's family, for her friends, for the community in which she lived, for me, for you, for everyone in California, and in the United States, for every loving parent, and every loved and loving child

if we removed richard allen davis from the prison and the planet via the actual execution of the death penalty.

it breaks my heart any human being is capable of this level of evil and wickedness, i would not take pleasure in his execution

but i could do it myself without losing sleep.
