I'm all for live trial watching when time permits, and while I don't endorse the death penalty (I'm of the "An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind" school of thought),
My version of "hang 'em high" simply translates to life behind bars with no hope of tasting freedom again.
Now, I need to be clear, I'm steadfast in my anti-death penalty stance. But GOD DAMN when I hear about those who've harmed kids, there's a part of my brain that momentarily vacations in a land where poetic justice exists. It's just a fleeting stress busting daydream, mind you... and at the end of the day, I'm all for life sentences.
Glad you pay your taxes. They pay to keep those poor unfortunate souls who committed heinous, criminal acts, against fellow humans, fed, bed and with meds.
Don't forget gender reassignment surgery, too! What a great use of funds for such deserving individuals!
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind? Only if you're a repeat offender. Eye for an eye is singular, right? That's some real Old Testament stuff.
Crayon . . . do you just loathe the Jews or are you a full-blown anti-Semite? Either way, you'll find an immediate mate with Piggy. (BTW - He has one eye.)
Other than putting a dent in fashion eye ware sales, what is the real reason for your anti-capital punishment, stance?
And that "land where poetic justice exists "? Does one find it by GPS coordinates or by meter?
Just curious.
(YouTube, cup of tea, bloke, the land of the blind; why does this sound familiar?)
