For violent criminals, it’s much harder for me to reach that conclusion.”
I strongly agree with him

“the right to vote is an inalienable and universal principle that applies to all American citizens 18 years and older. Period.”
I agree but I don't think it should be applied to people such as serial killers.

Sanders was asked if the Boston marathon bomber should be allowed to vote — and, again, said yes.
I respect Sanders opinion but I don't agree. Yes, people do have the right to vote but Boston marathon bomber? No. He should have thought about his rights before he did such a thing.. injuring over hundreds of people
