Death penalty opponents argue that life without the possibility of parole protects society better than the death penalty.
Tell that to Aubrey Hawkins family. George Rivas was serving more than a dozen life sentences when he escaped with the infamous Texas 7 and killed Officer Hawkins.
Thankfully, we know for sure he is no longer a threat. He was executed February 29.
The moral of the story? The only sure way to protect society from animals like Rivas is to put them down.
