I was not at all aware of a charge of capital murder being applied to someone who kills a police dog - you learn something new every day. Which states have this ridiculous law on the books? I can't imagine the ACLU and gang allowing anyone to actually go to jail - much less be executed - on such a charge.

Why should that be a surprise?

It's legal to dismember and suck out the brains of a child on his birthdate, so why should you be surprised? Let's get honest here. The ACLU defends only parts the first amendment, but not the second. And why not?

I think you misunderstood my previous post a bit: I'm only too well aware of the flaming hypocrasy of the ACLU on any number of issues, including both abortion and the 2nd amendment. I'm just a bit incredulous, given the ACLU's long-standing tradition of siding with criminals, that they wouldn't have shot down a law charging someone with a capital crime for killing a police dog. I am not in favor of executing people for killing dogs. As much as I love dogs, they still aren't equal to humans. I'm just wondering if some of the posts stating that it's a capital crime (e.g. a death-penalty offense) to kill a police dog are in fact urban legends.
