I believe that’s a genuine sentiment, but children being murdered on a weekly basis is entirely normal in the US. As soon as people in charge chose gun lobby money over lives, it became normal.

If it wasn’t accepted, wasn’t normal, then active shooter drills wouldn’t exist, websites offering Kevlar-lined backpacks for kids, and Members of Government wouldn’t have copy & paste statements saved as drafts.
 
This might be the most unsettling video I have ever seen on Twitter. The poster is correct, severe trigger warning. A six year potential sentence is far too lenient for a cnut like this. A snap back hat worn backwards completes the douche look...

 
Do you remember the guy who lunged at the judge last week? This is what he looks like today in court. FAFO, really.

This is sickening. He's beating that child like he's a grown man. :mad:
 
Just an example of our awesome justice system. This is the story of Alfred Dewayne Brown, wrongfully convicted of killing a Houston police officer and sentenced to death row.

Pro Life!!

edit: I find "pro-lifers" who are also pro death penalty to be the most disgustingly hypocritical people in existence and it is an instant "feck off, I want nothing to do with you" position for me. Of course, I find anyone who is pro death penalty to be filth, so there is that.

Don't forget most of these so called pro lifers are huge 2A supporters too. And of course they hate the thought of free healthcare, housing or any form of benefits.

For me but not for thee is the anthem of grievance politics.

What would they do with nitrogen? Freeze the inmate to death?

Apparently his oxygen supply would instantaneously become nitrogen which causes immediate unconsciousness, then death.

Could easily see Alabama royally fecking this up as they have done other execution methods in their recent past.

You'd think but that's not it, they literally don't know that the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing - and these people are allowed to vote!

Per CNN:
Smith appeared conscious for “several minutes into the execution,” and for two minutes after that, he “shook and writhed on a gurney,” according to the media witness report. That was followed by several minutes of deep breathing before his breath began slowing “until it was no longer perceptible for media witnesses.”

Leaving aside the general discussion about the death penalty, it's incredible to me that it remains this difficult to humanely put an end to the life of a human being. A firing squad sounds preferable to what they've done here.

I seem to remember a program with Michael Portillo where he investigated American attitudes to the death penalty alongside humane methods of applying it. It's a while ago now but in the end I think he discovered that for a lot of folk punishment was more important than painlessness.

I think many people want the person to suffer as they die and feel that that is the moral outcome.

Oddly enough I think it was a variation Portillo's "painless" method of execution that was put into practice by Alabama yesterday.
