Biggest crock of shite.......why do we worry about these people?




http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/20/russell-bucklews-execution-stayed_n_5361194.html


During Oklahoma's April 29 execution, inmate Clayton Lockett's vein collapsed, and he writhed on the gurney before eventually dying of a heart attack more than 40 minutes after the start of a procedure that typically takes roughly one-fourth of that time to complete.

In its 2-1 ruling, the 8th Circuit panel ruled that Bucklew's "unrebutted medical evidence demonstrates the requisite sufficient likelihood of unnecessary pain and suffering beyond the constitutionally permissible amount inherent in all executions."




According to prosecutors, Bucklew was angry at his girlfriend, Stephanie Pruitt, for leaving him. Pruitt moved with her two daughters into the Cape Girardeau home of Michael Sanders, who had two sons. Bucklew tracked Pruitt down at Sanders' home March 21, 1996, and killed Sanders in front of Pruitt and the four children. He handcuffed and beat Pruitt, drove her to a secluded area and raped her.

Why not wheel them into an operating room, put 'em under, and let them die from harvesting their organs? Make them give something useful back to society, provided Obamacare still does transplants.

Yeah kola, it's definitely a crock. In these cases, the creeps never care how cruel or unusual they are to their victims.... So why the heck should society make execution be like dying in your sleep?

I know there is the tendency to try and separate justice from vengeance but those are deluding themselves. Justice is civilized revenge & atonement for breaking the rules of society. Call me a barbarian if you like but there are some of these heinous murderers that have earned some cruel & unusual treatment.

I tend to pay more attention to those Vets who may have died prematurely because of poor decisions by the VA. Seems as though Buckwheat had been notified more than once of abnormalities in the system.

That said, Bush was vilified by the press for allowing some vets at Walter Reed hospital to stay in a room with a little peeling paint on the walls.

I guess some people have different priorities? :wink:

This has nothing to do with the ACA/VA Scandal, so just stop.


This is important enough to stand on it's own.

It's all tied together. Why let one person be held responsible for their choices that they make and not another?

That just creates confusion and makes for a very hard world to navigate.
