    Presuming the first panel is true,
    They need to get better doctors. Any hospital that used THAT excuse for botched IVs would be sued down to the basement for malpractice.

    Yeah, I read them. And yes, your attitude sucks. I’m against capital punishment, full-stop.

    Maybe you’d change your mind if you’d seen some of their handiwork, ro do you oppose killing mad dogs too?

    @walruscarver
    This is a little off-topic, but since you brought it up…
    In the state of Tennessee a dog has to attack someone twice within a years time before the authorities will even consider whether the dog should be neutered. A human can be killed for the first offense. I think that we should kill the dog and neuter the human, both for the first attack. Oh, and include the dog’s owner.

    More big-government right-wingers who want to make sure the state has the power to kill people.

    Being forever exiled from society is penalty enough. It is a form of living death to social animals like humans. Just say NO to capital punishment!

    This is what made America great: innovation and creativity! To come up with “I’m too fat to be executed” should put him right into the top corner office at Apple or Dell. Pure genius!

    We call capital punishment cruel and unusual. We make it easier on condemned killers to BE killed (executed). No one seems to remember the acts the killer did were cruel or unusual, regardless of how heinous the act. Maybe the punishment should fit the crime?

    And yes the first panel is true!

    I’m not above revenge. I cannot say how I would react if I witnessed murder or any of my family suffered at the hands of a criminal. I imagine I would be rather vengeful if anything happened to my wife or daughter. However:
    I do not expect the state to be my avenger. I certainly do not want any government to be carrying out vengeance. Justice, yes, but not revenge. Leave revenge up to me.

    It is shameful that a country like the USA still has capital punishment. No other long established democracy has it. Interesting how you are quite willing to debase yourself to support state murder. Mad dogs, eh? Dehumanise them. Reveals much more about yourself. Interesting.

    Well, it costs far, far, far more to put a prisoner on death-row. So, guess what, mate, you’re paying through your nose for the pleasure of revenge.

    Good one. I got it but it appears many did not.
