Good point.

[Twinkie]

SHOOT. SHOVEL. SHUT UP.

[Bigg Red]

I agree. The victim performed a selfless act and should be honored, but he did not knowingly put his life on the line.

I, too, become annoyed by the way the word “hero” is misused. It should be reserved for our military fighting men, firemen, policemen, and other emergency workers, who go to work to protect others, each time knowing that this could be their last day on earth.

[Bigg Red]

I think he was being sarcastic.

[JimRed]

I don't give a damn if some people think keeping him incarcerated is "more of a punishment"...

See my FReeper profile for a suggested alternative to the death penalty.

There are times we need a modern Judge Roy Bean.

Law west of the Pecos?

More like meth, but maybe both...let’s see what the tox testing shows.

[piytar]

Agreed.

[lafroste]

Mine too. Crystal meth can turn the already marginal person into a homicidal maniac in about 36 hours. Incredibly dangerous drug.
