I am not "hang 'em high". I understand if someone wants revenge he or she should dig two graves. We learned that in Northern Ireland for 40 years. I am not a "hang 'em high" merchant, but there has to be a minimum disapproval of the taking of a life purposely as first-degree murder. There are so many families, brothers, sisters, mothers and cousins living that appalling tragedy every day, and I want it discussed. That is all I want, to get the Bill to Committee Stage and not cut it off at the pass. It is not, Senator Lee, and I say this in my passion, it is not in competition with your Bill.
