Judge Roy Bean?
The History lesson wasn’t a lesson at all. Hanging didn’t stop Horse theft.
Death penalty for theft. Does sound like Sharia law. I thought we were supposed to be better than them.
I can only think of a few cases where theft warranted the death penalty. Ken lay & Bernie Madoff come to mind.
Now, armed robbery is a different case.
It didn’t? Are you sure about that? Did the cowboys use alarm systems on their horses when they went in for a drink at the local saloon? Did they have to take off their saddles and rifles when they went inside?
Did they chain the horse to the hitching post like it was a ten speed bicycle?
We are better than the muzzies. They don’t provide welfare to anyone who’s too lazy to work but still has the energy to steal.
