“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    I’m against the death penalty but that’s a terrible argument against it. It’s not hypocritical to jail someone who was falsely imprisoning their victim. The state has a monopoly on violence, which means a monopoly on punishing wrongdoers, controlled by the will of the people.

    The state is allowed to do all sorts of things individual people can’t. It has a different role. It taxes, it enforces justice, it regulates business, it provides services that the private sector won’t.
