I'm very much against the death penalty. My state doesn't have it anymore, and good riddance. However, those kinds of checks are necessary, if it absolutely must occur.

Press, and family of the inmate, if I recall.

I believe it's very important that these executions are observed. If the state gets to operate with impunity and no witnesses, many of these states have shown they don't have what it takes to act ethically with regards to the death penalty.

Every execution would be, "flawless", with no witnesses to say otherwise. Many victims families most likely wouldn't care either way, so it's the rest of the publics duty to ensure that executions are conducted in the most humane manner possible.

I'm 40, and that was the first time I used it, so¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Slides aren't registered. Just buy a new one, use that for the crime, and chuck it in the river. Replace it with the original, so the wear matches. Hell, a whole new slide is only a few hundred bucks.

Oh no shit? I've been doing it wrong this whole time, thanks for letting me know. My neighborhood just got a lot safer.

That's what I'm assuming as well, but the article didn't really elaborate, and I just tried to sum it up with the facts provided.

I'm ex-military as well, though. If someone raped me, and the justice system didn't do anything about it, I see the thought crossing my mind. That's exactly the way I'd do it, too.

"Oh my god, I had it all wrong, I just wanted to apologize! I know I was drunk/asking for it/didn't say no. I spent a lot of time out in nature to come to that conclusion. It would really help me if you'd walk with me up this trail I know, so I can have closure." something along those lines. Then BLAM. No struggle, it took three days to find his body.

Should have ditched the barrel of that pistol, and I'll bet she'd have gotten a lot less time.

After reading the article, you'd be correct.

Based on the mediocre article, she accused this dude of rape in 2017. Nobody did anything, so she continued on with her life (Pornin', I suppose) and in 2021 she cold walked this dude out into the forest after spending the night with him (no idea what happened) and shot him in the back of the head.

Then the guys mother tried to find out who did it, shot some innocent woman, and then killed herself when caught by the police. Real shit show, but nothing really to do with either of her careers.

Well, except you really shouldn't try to rape someone that's ex-military, cuz they'll walk you out into the forest and blow your brains out, at least occasionally.

Well, as long as it's not ridiculously contagious, we can have a little measles in our religious enclaves.

Like the great warrior philosopher Wesley Snipes once said, "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill."

Hilarious, considering that Harvard didn't even admit Americans for the first 140 years it existed.

I gave up on Reddit a few months back, but to say that Lemmy is as simple and intuitive as reddit just isn't true. I only use Lemmy now, and it's not very convenient, but I get the highlights from the news, which is all I really wanted.
