In writing about Gary Ridgway on Nov. 29 (“Maybe prison’s same as death for Ridgway”), columnist Adele Ferguson said, “I would like to see him dead, too, but maybe somebody will take care of that for us once he goes behind bars, where they have their own system of justice.”

I understand her emotion. But this is advocating murder and goes beyond acceptable political commentary.
