Black was convicted in the 1988 shooting deaths of his girlfriend Angela Clay, 29, and her two daughters, Latoya Clay, 9, and Lakeisha Clay, 6. Prosecutors said he was in a jealous rage when he shot the three at their home. At the time, Black was on work-release while serving time for shooting Clay’s estranged husband.
Yeah, he is infirm now. But he was a piece of shit then and, in my opinion, the only thing to take issue with is that it took 37 years to carry out his sentence.
What was the point of paying for him to live apart from society for these long decades?
The point of killing him was to convey to everyone that there are rules. Sure, do whatever you want. We’re pretty laid back. But, if you go off the rails and start gunning down innocent families, then you don’t get to play anymore.
I don’t think that the US private prison system does nearly enough to help rehabilitate people. It practically does nothing at all, and I know that area can be improved. However, some things need to be nipped in the bud.

What’s the point of killing him, then or now? How does that help society in any way?
