It's like the blind leading the blind out there.

Amazing, Cham who everyone who reads this blog knows has put together a great site regarding Leakin Park, led the bumbling police department to dedicate most of the day searching the park. After viewing the mother on the news, she would be the first person I would investigate. Wow, she has guilty written all over her.

Pardon my crass language, but Sen. Pinsky is so full of shit that it's oozing out of his ears.

"Pinsky said that there are plenty of unanswered questions about the lethal injection procedure including, " the mixture of the (lethal injection) chemicals and assurances that (the chemicals) would do what it is intended to do.""

The chemicals kill the inmate, what does this idiot think they do? There have been around a thousand executions by lethal injection in the US over the past 30 years, this stuff is not rocket science. If you want to be really safe you could switch to a single drug protocol like Ohio and Washington use, but the end result is the same.

The ONLY reason this so-called review is taking so long is that death penalty opponents don't have the votes for a repeal, so instead they stall stall stall. Part of me wishes we could just have a straight up or down referendum on the death penalty. Give people a choice between abolishing it outright, or reinstating it with faster appeals and none of these insane, years-long challenges to execution protocols.

That would be the mother who was in NC until AFTER her child went missing??

Cham said...

Thanks, Winston, for your comments. Reasons I would never be involved in a murder:

1) Too messy, too much clean-up
2) Have serious issues with exchange of any body fluid
3) Way too lazy
4) Not strong enough to lift most bodies
5) Would never get angry enough

No, sadly, wasn't me.

.. so the mom was up here with her and then went back, or she sent her alone in the first place?

She came up here to stay with her sister for Christmas and to look at Towson University since she was to graduate early.

The mother, Cham, not you. You're off the hook... for now...
