I’ve always thought that in Texas it would take a lot for you to be called a “monster”, you would have to do something like smoke pot, or say you believe that a woman has control over her own body and should be able to have an abortion if she wants.

Being from the UK, I thought that people like Scottfreitas were satirical creations - it’s a joy to find they’re actually real, if bizarre, Americans. Good work on your civilising skills, there, guys!

First, a jury or judge, not the governor, (depending on the state) gives a death penalty, but Sargent is too dumb to grasp that. Then, are we really supposed to think that Britain is a civilized country?

Scott just wants his teddy bear.

scott, you are a repulsive excuse for a human being. Enough of this demented bilious nonsense you spew. I wouldn’t trust you with a wife or a child.

Motive. Isn’t it amazing how someone so dedicated to an egg, hates the women who carry them so horrendously and with such venom?

For someone who seems to hate women so much (scott) did he have a mother or any sisters? Wonder what happened to make him hate women so very, very much. Actually he seems to hate the whole world. Sad!

Just to remind people about the ‘toon, it is in reference the the man executed in Texas in 2004 for arson which killed his three children. Later analysis of the forensics have cast doubt on the fire being an arson…so the man, who had lost his kids in a horrible accident, was himself executed for what was possibly no crime at all.
BTW, judges and juries convict, but governors have the right to extend clemency, johnking.

In Texas some years ago, a governor was caught selling clemency for too little and not being shareful, so Texas set up a board to decide on clemency. The Texas governor can delay an execution by at most 1 month to give the board a chance to reconsider its denial of clemency, a month few recent governors have given.
In order to pander to the voters, for more than 20 years every Texas governor, Democrat and Republican, has loudly proclaimed that he or she strongly favours the death penalty, and wants it carried out disirregardless.
The last Texas governor with major qualms about the death penalty was John Connally, who was shot while sitting next to President Kennedy in ‘63.
When Connally was governor, the governor had to sign all death warrants, and Governor Connaly refused to sign, thereby postponing all executions in Texas for as long as he remained in office.

Good for Connally.

That’s for sure, motivemagus, because he will shred them any way he can, he is so disturbed.

I’m here late…Scotts post was deleted by someone.

I read Scott’s comments. I believe he does not hate all women.
He just does not approve of or may hate career welfare women, easy women, sluts, women whom kill their own through abortion, women that sleep with numerous partners and has kids with numerous men. Women that are never going to work just live off the government and child support their whole life.
It is also true what he said about the women that are never going to get married. If they do they stand a chance of losing all the welfare benefits from the state. They have one person after another move in with them, move them out if the government ever comes out for an inspection and never counts the money towards their income.
In the end it is a misery pathetic life that is paid for the tax payers authorized by the democrat party. After all that is a big voting block for them.

Striper and Scott don’t hate women. They hate themselves because deep-down, they don’t actually, you know… like women.
In that way, I mean.
striper77 said, about 1 month ago
Crunkbot,
Do not push your perversion on me.
There is big difference between an easy women and a good women.
From your remarks you must like easy women and possibly men.
johnking said, about 1 month ago
Sargent’s real blind spot is in his implicit denial that some humans ARE
monsters. Hitler wasn’t, or Lenin, or Stalin, or Mao, or Pol Pot? Just another example of leftist nonjudgmentalism made asinine. Okay, nobody given the death sentence in America ranks down there with the aforementioned homicidal maniacs (all of them motivated by leftist politics, be it noted), but only because they lacked the opportunity to kill as many people. Capital punishment is not a simple issue, but the reality of human monsters is not, this moron cartoonist notwithstanding.

johnking, to repeat:
Just to remind people about the ‘toon, it is in reference the the man executed in Texas in 2004 for arson which killed his three children. Later analysis of the forensics have cast doubt on the fire being an arson…so the man, who had lost his kids in a horrible accident, was himself executed for what was possibly no crime at all.
This guy may well have been a victim, not a monster.
