Living in a southern pro-execution state I know this much: At the end of the day, the guilty are executed while the rare innocent is freed after much review. This past year, two people have been freed after careful review of the evidence. And my governor is reluctant to enforce capital punishment if there's problems with the conviction.
Also noticed that the black convict is executed for murdering black victims about 85-90% of the time, and more than likely was caught red-handed. The white convict is executed for murdering white victims about 85-90% of the time, and more than likely was caught red handed.
As for the 2nd Amendment, there have been a number of cases in my area this past year where perps have run into the business end of a homeowner's rifle or pistol. They lost everytime because of the expertise of the gun owners.
No doubt this is why my neighbors sleep soundly with doors unlocked at night. Gives a whole new meaning to dead-bolt.
eeeYUP!
