Murderers and Words *UPDATED*

Another One Bites the Dust
Jose Ernesto Medellin, the convicted murderer and rapist of two teenage girls, Elizabeth Pena and Jennifer Ertman, was executed late August 5th by lethal injection in the death chamber at Huntsville State Prison in Texas.

Texas Governor, Rick Perry was quoted as saying: "It's not my job to judge, it is not my job to forgive." He said, "That's the Lord's job. The Lord can forgive and the Lord can judge." My job as the governor of Texas is to arrange the meeting between Medellin and Jesus." Well said Governor Perry...and well done Texas!!!

Words
I've come to understand that the two most overused/misused words in the English language are: "Always" and "Never." No one is ALWAYS right and no one is NEVER wrong.

Update: A correct use of the word "never": That scumbag Medellin will NEVER hurt another person.

Cruel and Unusual

On Monday, the Supreme Court will take under consideration whether the death penalty is "cruel and unusual" punishment. In light of slugs/people like Darlanne Toussaint, I say the death penalty is NOT cruel.

The case coming before the Court revolves around one Ralph Baze who took it upon himself to open fire on two Kentucky law enforcement officers who had come to his residence in January 1992. They were attempting to serve a warrant for Baze's arrest--Baze was already a fugitive from the law. Baze was hiding in some brush near his home. When his wife diverted the officer's attention, Baze used an assault-type rifle to ambush the two police officers. Each officer was shot three times in the back. One officer was executed with a shot to the back of his head as he tried to crawl away. (Source)

What is cruel is allowing scumbags like Baze to draw one more breath. As far as unusual, yes, the death penalty is "unusual" in that it is not something that happens everyday. Too bad. As of January 1, 2007 there were 3350 death row inmates in United States prisons. Instead of being labeled "cruel and unusual," executions should be "quick and OFTEN." We can start with Ralph Baze and Darlanne Toussaint.
