Went to the Old Graveyard Memorial Park, got some really cool pictures of some really old graves... and I left my freaking camera back at the hotel. Didn't download them last night like a dummy. So I think that I'm going to rant today... I am a firm believer in the death penalty. As I was walking back into the hotel this afternoon I picked up a newspaper and the headline that slapped me in the face - From The Tennessean newspaper - Tennessee is ready to resume executions under new rules it released Monday, using a three-drug lethal injection method opponents say is still inhumane and unconstitutional. Excuse me... Last week, according to the newspaper a medical review of dozens of executions found that the drugs used to execute prisoners in the U.S. sometimes fail to work as intended, causing inmates to die painful deaths in which the condemned suffocate and feel pain but are immobilized and unable to say they are suffering. The only problem with the death penalty is that it isn't used enough. Texas and Florida have it right -- line them up, run them through. So what that the inmate should suffer a little pain. What do you think he inflicted on others to get the sentence in the first place? If others continue to be hell bent on harming innocent people, then they can head to death row, too. No reason to keep them around for 40 years to watch TV. I believe that this all stems from the upcoming execution of Phillip Workman. Workman was accused of killing a police officer during a robbery of a Wendy's in Memphis, TN on August 5, 1981. In March 1982, Workman was convicted and sentenced to death for the first degree murder of Lt. Ronald Oliver. What specifically is "humane" about murder? That IS the crime that earned the sentence of "death". If a person is tried and convicted beyond all reasonable doubt and the sentence is death then that is justification to end their life. Don't want to pay the price, don't commit the crime!
