I think these guys have the right idea... No violence, fly dance moves, & all combos of the middle finger .... https://x.com/ghetto_gronk/status/2105820702775386141 I proffer this - all future political debates should mimic this approach. Talk about must-see TV.
I'm a pretty hardcore proponent of capital punishment, in cases where there is zero doubt as to who committed the murder. So this Christa Pike was supposed to be executed in Tennessee a few days ago, but the State botched the lethal injection. Now she's in critical care and they're trying to nurse her back to where she can live the rest of her life, happily in incarceration. Her attorney argues that she's suffered enough with the failed attempt, and it would be inhumane to schedule any future execution. I'm sorry, but whatever suffering she experienced while in a coma (or at least in heavy sleep) pales in comparison to what her tortured victim went through over 30 years ago. And this is going to sound harsh, but while the injection was clearly not working, why not just strap a mask over her mouth and give her lethal gas? There should always be a plan B at arm's length for contingencies. I just finished reading a book called "The Boy Next Door." It chronicles the killing spree of serial killer Jon Dunkle, who murdered three boys in California in the 80's for pure enjoyment and attempted to kill others. I'm not going to go into details right now, but suffice it to say that as a young teen there is a very good chance that I crossed paths with Dunkle. It is beyond eerie to me how many parallels there are between my life and his movements. Dunkle is on death row, but because this is California, he will get to live out the rest of his life on our tax dollars. So will Richard Allen Davis, Charles Ng, and many others. You know who didn't get to live out their lives? Polly Klaus, Dunkle's three victims, and Ng's 11 victims. Where's the humanity in that?
that's crazy you feel like you crossed paths. my family lived down the street from the Walts family. brother Mark went into the wpp because he testified about his brother who was murdered by the manson family and left in Topanga canyon. Paul was older than us but cool af and helped us build/dig out forts in the fields. weird when its close. they were mentioned in the old copies of Helter Skelter but it seems time makes things blurry. i remember big time. fuck charles manson. the whole death penalty thing is murkier. sure costs a lot to get even if we ever do. w this Pike situation i think its likely an advocate against the death penalty was somewhere in the machine and intentionally fucked it up. how hard is it to make sure a lethal injection is administered? but once it doesn't go as planned well then of course the whole process is a failure/racist whatever and should be done away with. i'm thinking sabotage if they ever look close enough. just too convenient when this type of impossibility occurs in such a high profile case. but yeah there should definitely be a back up even if that's a guy splattering her brains w a sawed off. fuck people who murder. once that line has been crossed you give up your right to breath the same air as the rest of us. either way this will come out as a massive indictment on the process itself.
I am with you in spirit. I'm not a vocal CapPun advocate but I'm averse to it because the legal profession has turned it into a cottage industry & a political football. I wouldn't fight it if Randy Kraft & Edmund Kemper & all those evil fucks. If we don't execute "no doubt" murderers & rapists swiftly, then bring back dungeons, and mean it. Dig down with Musk's boring machines, and pay top dollar to illegals who want to be citizens to build them. Hundreds of feet below ground, limited light, no recreation, no outside communication of any kind. Like France's Bridge of Sighs, let the dungeon gates give them their final view of sky, sun, and life on earth as they descend into The Inferno. If they get sick, tough shit. Die slowly & in agony. I dgaf. My issue with the Constitution has always been the "cruel & unusual" bit. Cruelty is subjective, as is unusuality. I see no issue with a miserable, lingering, unholy death in a km deep dungeon with cold Top Ramen 3X a fucking day. And as usual ... there are lots of reasons that folks think I'm unhinged...
Does France have a Bridge of Sighs too? I've seen the one in Venice. But I'm on board with the dungeon idea. Make it so criminals of that caliber really have something to lose. And give them two chances to opt for a cyanide pill. One right before they descend, and one six months in.
Nidal Hassan to leave the face of the Earth. Good riddance you motherfucking pos. enjoy your virgins https://x.com/SeanParnellASW/status/2107252342097637558?s=20
