Firing Squad Or Hanging? AG Candidate Wants Death Penalty For Corrupt Lawmakers
CBS Sacramento ^ | 4/4/2014

Posted on 04/07/2014 2:37:32 PM PDT by Beave Meister

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – A Republican candidate for California attorney general said Friday that state lawmakers who are found guilty of crimes that endanger the lives of others should face the death penalty.

Phil Wyman, who spent 17 years in the state Legislature, said he was motivated by the case of Democratic Sen. Leland Yee. Yee faces federal charges that include an attempt to coordinate an international gun-running scheme from the Philippines.

Wyman also criticized Democratic Attorney General Kamala Harris for being “silent as a mouse” on the corruption cases that have marred the state Senate this year. A campaign spokesman for Harris declined comment.

Wyman said in a news release and subsequent telephone interview that the “most egregious” abusers of their public office, if convicted, should be able to choose their method of death – public hanging, firing squad or lethal injection – as a deterrent to others.

Just search for "death by Bunta", you'll see.

Should work pretty well in San Francisco.

I’ve read that people years ago considered the firing squad an honorable way to die.

Hanging was for common criminals and spies.

What kind of nut cases do they grow in CA? The guys on the Right should understand that, just like “benevolent” Bush’s socialism set the table for not so benevolent Obama, so this kind of semi-well-meaning nonsense sets the table for Communist-style mass murder of its own citizens.

Those in government at all levels have caused great harm to law abiding citizens? No?

The cancer of government corruption at all levels has escalated and is now clearly widespread. Has the spreading corrosive cancer over the past several decades being treated?

Many of these punitive government actions are Constitutionally illegal and are a clear threat to American sovereign and our freedom, some of which are treasonous. No?

These actions by those in governemnt are so corrupt, so immoral, so subversive, it's now undermined and compromised our very electoral process. No?

Yes, but the answer isn't killing them... BTW, they'll turn right around and slaughter all of us

You evaded all the questions with "yes"? Yes what?

You sound like weak milktoast scared subject.

Try this on.

Those in government at all levels have caused great harm to law abiding citizens? No?

Yes.

The cancer of government corruption at all levels has escalated and is now clearly widespread. Has the spreading corrosive cancer over the past several decades being treated?

No.

Many of these punitive government actions are Constitutionally illegal and are a clear threat to American sovereign and our freedom, some of which are treasonous. No?

Yes.

These actions by those in governemnt are so corrupt, so immoral, so subversive, it's now undermined and compromised our very electoral process. No?

Yes.

Got it?

Now, the answer isn't killing them (I mean it's laughable that I'm having to say that. BTW, they'll turn right around and slaughter all of us, like the Commies in Russia and China).

The answer is the same as it has been for decades: THROW THE BUMS OUT and CUT TAXES to 10-15% flat tax and CUT 80% of the $4 TRILLION federal government which would bring it down to $800 Billion (still too big but its a start). Wouldn't hurt defense (currently at $500 billion) which needs to be streamlined and made the best in the world once again.

Got it?

Line 1. For the corrupt lawmakers. Line 2. Those who would volunteer to do the shooting.

If we charge for admittance to Line 2, we just might be able to balance the budget and begin to pay down the National Debt.

Put it on Pay Per View and the debt is erased!

How do you "throw the bums out, when you all ready admitted the governemnt by their actions are so corrupt, so immoral, so subversive, it's now undermined and compromised our very electoral process?

No, the American People have it in their power to vote these bums out. Also, there's a Convention of States afoot to pass amendments to cut government and taxes. We're not yet at the point where we have to "kill" them. As I said, if at some time we have some kind of civil war, then that's another story.

Not sure what your point is or what you're saying.

I also find it very inquisitive after you admitted many of these actions are treasonous, yet you refer to them as "Bums"?

Another question for ya Mr. Papa.

Why would you just, "those those bums out", if they have committed acts of treason and harmed law abiding Americans?

How does that work Mr. Papa if they've compromised and undermined our electoral process?

What I have stated is clear. You however have made multiple inconsistent statements, and have evaded specific questions.

1. Why would you just, "those those bums out", if they have committed acts of treason and harmed law abiding Americans?

2. How do you "throw the bums out, when you already admitted the governemnt by their actions are so corrupt, so immoral, so subversive, it's now undermined and compromised our very electoral process?

Again my comments I have stated are clear. You however have made multiple inconsistent statements, and have evaded specific questions.

Care to answer the questions Mr. Papa?

No, you’ve lost me. You seem all over the map to me. This is not a coherent discussion as far as I’m concerned. I don’t even know what we’re talking about. I might just let this one go.

No, you’ve lost me.

You're unable to answer the above clear and concise questions?

Or are you simple evading them?

Idiot attack dog? This is how you respond to legitimate questions, then run for the tall grass?

You are right: “Public Hangings for Public Servants” is the way to go.

Saturday Noon was a favorite hanging time in the 1800’s, made Public Hangings a memorable family object lesson.

OK Dragnet, I'll try one more time although I've already answered you're seemingly inane question.

You throw the bums out by VOTING THEM OUT. Right? We still have voting power right? That hasn't been taken away yet has it?

Also the Convention of States.

OK now, what's YOUR point. Are you for killing these guys?

Sure ya do. You certainly know the point. Your palaver is done over, by personality. You will never recover, whatever humanity, you were graced.
