MUSEUM COMMENTARY:
MUSEUM COMMENT: In support of the death penalty, it has been said that there are some individuals who commit such acts so bestial that they therefore loose their right to walk upon the face of this earth.   And from what I’ve personally seen about Mr. Navarro, I’ve come to the conclusion that (unless there is more to this story then was told in the newspapers), that this is such a case.   One need only look under crimes committed to figure that one out; -- They even had to use extra-small print just to fit everything in.   In fact Mr. Navarro provides us with a good example, that just because one uses Marihuana (assuming that he even did), that that doesn't make him one of the good guys.
