I’ve seen more than a few episodes of “Lockup” on MSNBC and I’m convinced that most of those guys ain’t playing with a full deck.
That stuck out for me as well. They give them sedatives???? Well, isn’t that special.
Not certain, but I think the sedative is also to protect the guards
and others who need to physically control the condemned on his
way to the death chamber.
“IF they are that low IQ, they ought to have to be locked up, period, unable to murder the rest of the citizenry.”....
Being locked up didn’t save that other prisoner he snuffed out by beating him to death in their cell. Unless you consider that the now dead inmate was NOT a citizen. (sarc)
Very good point!
Yes, that’s what I’d imagine, but these days > who knows !
“just a half hour before Warren Hill’s state-sponsored murder was slated to begin”
State-sponsored murder? Not going to read further than that, since the bias of the author is apparent.
States often give the condemned the date rape drug Ativan. It's to make things go easier for the government hirelings. Union rules don't allow for disruptions that might cut into their TV break time.
“state-sponsored murder” sets out the paper’s orientation, doesn’t it?
He already dodged the bullet when he got a life sentence for murdering his girlfriend. Then had a high enough level of intelligence to figure out how to murder his cellmate. He is not *that* impaired.
Has there ever been anyone you have known for long who you thought WAS “playing with a full deck” who suddenly committed a crime and went to prison?
