And Utah put down another rabid dog last night! (Took decades of course).

IMO this has always been a nonsense argument. If someone is too mentally deficient to live among normal humans without killing them, then they should not be on Earth. Welcome to our dysfunctional legal system. *IT* is mentally deficient, and this is but one more example.
One of my favorite examples of the irrational screwy logic it uses, is the Alec Baldwin case. The idiot Judge decided that because the Prosecution didn't give the Defense irrelevant ballistic data, Alec Baldwin should go free.
He *KILLED* someone, and the New Mexico prosecution may have intentionally (to throw the case on purpose) or inadvertently, failed to give absolutely useless data to the Defense, which I believe they didn't even ask for.
So the Judge lets the murderer go, *AND* she lets the incompetent/complicit Prosecutor go.
Two bad deeds and nobody gets punished!
Actually, that's wrong. The people of New Mexico get punished!
Somehow, in the legal system, two bad deeds cancel out.
Worst possible result for the entire country, and that is the default result in this sort of circumstance.

Actually, the murder occurred in 1997, but the point still stands.

I have to agree.
Retry the Baldwin case and fire the prosecutor responsible.
It’s not that hard to do the right thing, but two tiered justice...

I've been told that black-on-black violence is not my concern, and that any discussion of its magnitude is racist.
So, personally, I choose not to care about it and focus on crimes against whites.
Sorry.

Bingo. My dad was at Sam Houston State in Huntsville in the mid 1950’s. He knew when an execution was being carried out because the lights in his apartment would dim down to almost dark.

I had read 1997 and 1977. At least this fiend finally got zapped.

Look up Giuseppe Zangara. Tried to shoot Roosevelt in Miami, hit the mayor sitting next to him. 19 days later he was sitting in old sparky.
