Does this entire chain of comments have any purpose or goal other than the same old tired "shame the rich" meme that gets so much play?

PG thinks the death penalty is bad, but PG isn't worried enough about other things you think are worse, therefore PG is wrong? (???)

I honestly don't see where you're going with this other than cheap sniping.

He's like someone who is anti-abortion but doesn't worry at all about people after they exit the womb. They're lying when they say they actually care about life. In reality, they just care about how abortion makes them feel.

He's anti-death penalty in the same way. The orders of magnitude more suffering in our prison system can't get a tweet but the nearly disused California death penalty urgently bothers him...

So no, it has no other purpose other than insulting.
