It's hard to keep up with demand -- they've even had to start executing the innocent.

Well Jesus was executed Himself, wasn't He? Aren't we supposed to follow in the path of the Lord?

Oh dear, it appears that police in at least one county are going to have to start producing evidence before they can get their suspects executed. Oh well, I hope it doesn't slow things down too much...

China executed the guy it said was responsible for all that tainted pet food at the end of his one day trial. So really, there's only a justice delayed difference between China and Texas.

In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, a number of protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Karla Faye Tucker. "Did you meet with any of them?" I ask. Bush whips around and stares at me. "No, I didn't meet with any of them", he snaps, as though I've just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. "I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with Tucker, though. He asked her real difficult questions like, 'What would you say to Governor Bush?'" "What was her answer?" I wonder. "'Please,'" Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "'don't kill me.'" I must look shocked — ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel — because he immediately stops smirking.

George W. Bush, chief fry cook.

Anybody remember that episode of Michael Moore's The Awful truth where he has an execution contest between Jeb and George?

Those Bush boys. Such deciders.

Yeah no capital punishment 2000 years ago and no salvation for nooooobody, nada... not a sausage.
Everyone knows God could have saved Jesus in a flash if he wanted to...

You only get executed in the States if you're poor.

Rich people are exempt, don't ya know?

Update: The State of Texas no longer executes the innocent. They now only sentence them to life in prison.

Quote:
Gov. Rick Perry says he'll spare Kenneth Foster from his scheduled execution tonight and commute his sentence to life.

In doing so, Perry accepts a recommendation from the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, which voted 6-1 today to urge the commutation.

...that Karla Faye was quite a kidder herself before her jailhouse conversion...apologize for the purple prose

http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/women/tucker/1.html



Reaching back into the living room, Karla Faye grabbed the first murderous thing she saw, that pick-axe, three feet long and easy to the grip. Effortlessly, she lifted it, and returned to the chamber already smelling of blood. Danny, his senses satiated for the moment, paused to watch what his girl was doing, followed her curious movements as she circled the bed and raised the axe overhead. Now, for the first time; it was his turn to watch her as she swooped the pick in an arc, tearing the blade through the torso of the cowering female. "Let her have it!" he cheered. Seeing that Dean's skull was thoroughly flattened, Danny stood as spectator to Karla Faye's grand performance.

The girl, whom would later be identified as Deborah Thornton, had screamed only once and began to gurgle. The gurgling annoyed Karla Faye, so she gave it to her again and again in the chest, legs, stomach and shoulders. The more the body seemed to quiver, the more Karla Faye struck to stop its trembling. As the carcass turned to mush, blood splattered upward and across the room, onto the murderess.

"Yuck!" she mimicked, but delighted in the sensation. Danny threw a blanket over her head, daring her to hit the target blindfolded. "Like a pinata!" he rooted. And the killing became a game. Under the darkness of the cover, Karla Faye's senses became more acute; she could hear the whoosh of the axe as it fell, could hear the squish-squish of the blade penetrating soft, wet flesh. Ecstasy! Although she denied it later, she would tell friends that the excitement generated a triple orgasm, the likes of which she had never before experienced.

Karla Faye Tucker had busted loose.

When she had finished with Thornton, empowered by the deviancy, she finished off Dean with another twenty blows.

Before they left the scene of the crime, Danny left the pickaxe impaled in Deborah Thornton's heart

Far be it for a Devil Woman to be dabbling in such matters but here I go ...

Quote:
"If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matthew 6:14-15)


Looks like George will burn for his.
