Seriously though.....I do not know how to post from something I've read on here. For ex., if I read in a paper/mag something I want to share with you guys, how do I do that? Do I have to google it, save it, cut and whatever? I won't ask that you take up the time on this thread, but if anyone wants to educate the ole man, please pm me. Thanks a bunch. Oh...and keep it simple. Like go here-punch this key.:lol:
Copy and Paste the link, then copy and paste the part of the article you want to emphasis in your post, with a quote box around it. Its really easy.
Not if you don't know what to do to copy and paste.... and if you remember in the post, I said I might would have changed this guys sentence, since he did not actually kill the guy. I just would have to know more or the case.:thumb:
Headline news in Yeee Hawww Jackson, Mississippi: Condemned Inmate's Last Words: 'Vote For Obama' (article here: http://www.wapt.com/news/16975165/detail.html) Reminds me of how it was back in the 50's when LSU took it's first black guy. After he passed a swimming test, The Reveille printed a front-page story titled, "First black to swim in pool." (link) Seriously people, does this guy look like an Obama-supporter?
After reading case after case of injustices inherent in the Mississippi legal system, he is damn right they need to stop capital punishment in Mississippi. It is an absolute joke in that state. Here, this story will start you off... http://www.reason.com/news/show/122458.html It's a long article, but it totally destroys any concept of honest justice in Mississippi.
The only way I would avocate not executing that POS is if he had grabbed the hammer and clubbed that other SOB to death. He held the victim while the other dude hammered him to death? Lethal injection is way too easy.
Indeed. But there ought to be a law that makes co-murderer's subject to the same penalty. Why should one get a free ride for the rest of his life on taxpayer money?
It's a screwed up system for sure. But there are too many bleeding hearts out there to hope that it will ever improve. Sure, the argument that executing one innocent person is one too many is a valid one, but sometimes you just have to accept the bad for the greater good. I wonder how many "innocent" victims of sanctioned execution had clean criminal records? I'd bet most if not all were societal predators so it's good riddance anyway, IMO. Innocent people die on the highways all the time but no one advocates pulling cars off the road.
Ahh the good ole greater good argument. It's always easy to follow that when you are apart of that greater good isn't it..
