Before we begin: The hapless Giants play the powerful 49ers. Our Survivor pool selection this week is the 49ers.
Sweet Home Alabama
Last November Alabama tried to legally murder Kenneth Eugene Smith by strapping him to a gurney and keeping him there for hours as the execution team needled around in several locations to insert two intravenous lines without success, before calling off the execution. It is hard to imagine a more ghastly ordeal than being marched back a second time to face the executioner and a new method of execution that has the possibility of unknown agony after decades in prison awaiting death.
And that is just what Alabama is going to do. They brought together the best legal and medical minds, and a few good-ol-boys from the Piggly Wiggly and decided that in the United States of America- of which Jim Bob would proudly tell you "has the best dag-gum legal system in the world" - the enlightened thing to do is restrap ol Kenny Smith to a gurney and suffocate his ass by putting a mask on him and making him breathe nitrogen until he suffocates.
Yee Haw don't that sound like fun?!
Here's the NY Times Op Ed from Mr. Smith's lawyer. Not that it matters much as in Alabama they don't read no commie-pinko-Hillary Clinton lovin, Hunter Biden helpin NY Times when there's Newsmax and Fox News.
And as we all know, Alabama as a sophisticated a system of justice as the rest of the country- especially Beechum County.
What was his crime, probably deserved worse.
ReplyDeleteStill nothing on de la Portilla and Riley? Why?
ReplyDeleteI don’t support the death penalty.
ReplyDeleteBut…There is not pleasant way to kill people. As long as they don’t feed people to animals, draw and quarter them, burn them at the stake or do anything else that is clearly intended to be cruel and unusual, I am okay with it.
As long as we have the death penalty, I would be okay with hanging, the guillotine, a firing squad, etc. It is not the method that matters to me so much as the result. The state shouldn’t be in the business of killing criminal defendants. But as long as it is, I don’t care too much how it is done.
Dear Mr./Ms. Death penalty advocate. I wonder how millions of animals are put to sleep every year in a safe and humane way but, we cannot find a way to put prisoners to death without fucking it up?
ReplyDeleteBTW, what about all the people who end up being cleared after being on death row for years? Is the death penalty really needed?
OK, a video shows a guy killing a cop, he confesses with no coercion and there are 10 eye witness and a motive. OK, got me on that one.
Where's Fredo?
ReplyDeleteSouth beach murder case worst case ever kill them all yet they are still all living they need to speed it up.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Rick Hermida on that verdict this week. Wouldn't listen to his lawyer, testified anyway, and got an NG on the kidnapping. Sounded like he gave a very good closing.
ReplyDeleteRick is not only a great lawyer but he is a serious angler. Great result at trial although nothing compared to his famous haul at the miami sea aquarium. Fucking legend.
