This should go in the geriatric thread.

I think they should create a game show. Recruit participants to fire at the guy from 1000m or so while his wheelchair is tethered to a post. Contestant who first dispatches him gets the income for all the likes and views while streaming, or 5 years no federal income tax.

Your loss. Really funny stuff about US and European measurements.

Nope. Not a loss. I spend enough time screwing around here. Really don't need the other stuff. mtmuley

Considering our prison population, that means somewhere between 18,000-54,000 people are currently in prison when they shouldn't be. That's the problem with big numbers to start with...

Aren’t we grateful there are individuals who are trying to write some of those rare wrongs? I’m personally grateful for an amazing legal system while recognizing it has its limitations.

That’s because of the cost associated with the numerous appeals and related issues. I personally prefer to eliminate most of those. I think due process can be satisfied without the additional cost mentioned.

Would a .223 with a suppressor be sufficient or is that under gunned?

I have some Barnes .223 LE bullets. I asked Barnes what LE meant and they said that they are the same as the TSX but putting "Hunting Bullet" on the ammo for Law Enforcement didn't go over well.

Ranks right up there with old folks getting on Facebook to post memes about how they played outside more when they were kids than today's kids do.

Surprised no one has suggested just selling them to prisons in El Salvador or Africa. Oh wait, we already do that.

Well, we did

Well, we did

I came home from work one day this week to find both of my kids wrapping themselves in a picnic blanket and rolling down the hill in our backyard and drinking from the spigot on the back of the house. It gave me hope.

It gave me hope.

But did they steal cigarettes from grandmas purse and smoke them behind the barn?

In simpler times we had vigilante mobs to satisfy our innate desire for justice. Epstein got yanked out of his house and castrated with a rusty knife in the street.

The judicial complexity of a modern civil society gives everyone their day in court. This produces maddening delays, sometimes indefinite, of punishment for the most heinous crimes.

Our collective outrage funnels into a thirst for unambiguous, visible, finite outcomes for society’s worst. However, state-sanctioned executions have zero objective value, with a couple important exceptions:

A. Prisoners with life sentences should have the right to choose the death penalty in lieu of serving the rest of their time.

B. Prisoners with life sentences who murder or attempt to murder additional people in prison.

Based on my observation, roughly 1 in 10 prisoners serving life fits one or the other or both.

I don’t object to public executions. It is a function of the state that should have transparency.

Grandma quit smoking already. Guess they are out of luck.

Don’t you all neglect the ad revenue, clicks, views, likes and other monetization livestream execution could whip out. Don’t pretend to be altruistic, just for popularity sake.
