Still think Texas has never executed anyone who was innocent?

    And let me ask you something Deskslave -

    These fuckheads who are put into prison for life - and then commit violent crimes against guards or other inmates while they are in prison - please justify why they shouldn't be killed on the spot.

    I mean, we put you in jail for life and you are still a fuckhead with no respect for anyone else, why do you deserve to live and why should we pay for you to live?

    As the system is currently configured, it's cheaper to keep them alive.

    How about life without possibility of parole in solitary instead?

    In one post you suggest that they should be violated while in prison. In the next, you decry violent crimes against other inmates.

    Amazing how the distrust of government disappears when the bloodlust must be satisfied.

    Send them all to Jacksonville. It's a fate worse than death.

    It's one way to fill the stadium.

    In a different time and place -- like, say, if we were having this debate any time before today -- zag might have used the example "that wack job in Texas who tried to get everyone to believe there was someone else who looked EXACTLY LIKE HIM and had the SAME FIRST NAME but wasn't him" as someone who was undeniably guilty and needed to fry.

    I know an upper deck that can accommodate them.

    That is more likely than a short-circuiting electric chair to get the "cruel and unusual" tag from the Supreme Court.
