TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — The United States on Thursday carried out its second federal execution this week, killing by lethal injection a Kansas man whose lawyers contended he had dementia and was unfit to be executed.
This is just the GOP doing what it does best.
Death cults gotta death.
Nothing to motivate the GOP base like executions, I guess the 140K+ deaths from Covid aren’t good enough to satisfy the pro-life crowd.
He also had a long history of paranoia and delusions but correctly believed the Justice Department was moving forward with his execution because of plunging poll numbers.
FIFY
Performative evil. We are a failed state.
Back in the early 70s, I was pretty disappointed to find out George Bernard Shaw’s stance on capital punishment…
I remember visualizing him walking with a bloody knife in hand stabbing prisoners as they sleep in the name of humanity.
His thoughts on the subject:
But the criminal who can be reformed is not the problem. If you can reform him (or her) reform him; that is all. Do not make him a martyr. The real problem is the criminal you cannot reform: the human mad dog or cobra. The answer is, kill him kindly and apologetically, if possible without consciousness on his part. Let him go comfortably to bed expecting to wake up in the morning as usual, and not wake up. His general consciousness that this may happen to him should be shared by every citizen as part of his moral civic responsibility.
They should televise it so they can run ads for Trump steak and Goya beans.
May god have no mercy on our souls.
Yep. We are still barbaric.
Death Panels.
I’m amazed the inmates aren’t released from the White House front door on TV with Donnie Jr and Eric firing rifles at them - great TV ratings, free pardon if you make it over the fence!
