Arkansas plans to execute 8 men over 10 days
« on: March 03, 2017, 12:03:05 pm »
 (CNN)Eight men are scheduled to be executed by lethal injection in Arkansas in the space of just 10 days, according to Gov. Asa Hutchinson's office.
The state -- which has not put anyone to death for 11 years -- plans to execute the men in pairs between April 17 and April 27.

I hate headlines. It sounded like they were going to slow cook them or something. Ten days? Shouldn't take more than a few minutes, really.  :shrug:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Plus, it's not a bad allegory for what the democrats did to healthcare.

Low and slow.  And don't open the hood to keep peeking every 20 minutes.
