Jamacia brought back the cat-o-9-tails several year ago. Or was talking about it. I lived in Singapore, and you did not cross the police there.

This doesn’t add up. How can there be a shortage of lethal injection drugs while at the same time in some states the “assisted suicide” industry is humming along?
