Explosions at Boston Marathon

[Gargamel]

Bad joke of the week:

At the time of the verdict, coworkers and I are sitting around at lunch. One of them is reading the article, and asks:

"I wonder if they still use a pistol to start the race?"

I answered "Nah, they just toss a backpack in the street and everybody takes offs running."

I'll be honest I laughed.

But then I think I'm the only one here who got a kick too out of helicopter cat. I know, I know, Im going straight to hell.

yesterday I saw an American person on Danish news saying that they preferred that he got life instead of death penalty.

Life-then we will not hear about him anymore. He will be locked away, the press will write about it for some days and then he is forgotten.

Death penalty-every time he..(forgot the word) we will hear or read his name.

When I heard and read(subtitle) I thought.

I have never been thinking like that.

That's what I reckoned earlier in the thread. The whole process prior to execution is going to take years probably, and cost a fair amount of money in legal procedings. It will continue to generate headlines whenever an important landmark is reached, and his reactions will be broadcast to the world. By the time he actually gets to the injection room he'll be lauded as a martyr for his cause by the likes of Daesh and Al'Qaeda, and perhaps encourage more people to do their 'religious duty', because what they won't show is him twitching and spasming as the injection takes hold, nor him urinating himself or crying and begging before hand. It will just be reported that he was executed via lethal injection and that will be that. To be honest, even if half of the aforementioned stuff was broadcasted, it would be just denounced as the work of the 'Great Satan' and that he would be better off 'in the arms of Allah', etc.

There's a French word, Oubliette, it's used to describe a particular form of captivity in medieval times. That's the sort of treatment he should have received, in my opinion, bolted away in one of those Supermax prisons and the media discouraged from mentioning his name ever again.

The appeals process its called when a person receives a death sentence. I believe by law iin most states a certain amount of appeals are automatically granted unless the person demands at the first appeal that they wish to have the sentence carried out as soon as possible. Timothy McVeigh did that and his was a federal sentence.

Actually I think its a fair set up as it gives a chance for a conviction to be reviewed thus its a way to be sure so to speak that the law has been justly carried out to that point before the sentence is carried out. Or for the condemned to say get it over with.

Try a banana, good source of potassium.

An apple a day will keep the doctor away. But you have to throw it just right.

They should execute him they way King Edward II was supposedly executed, by skewering his cat-flap with a red-hot poker. That would deter other would-be terrorists!
