to what end??

[ice grillin you]

the state of virginia is planning to execute percy walton tonight at 9 pm

walton has an iq of 66....

dook killed 3 people in 1997 and plead guilty without any judgment or test on his mental competency....

dook doesnt know what it means to die....he believes his execution will bring his victims back to life and possibly lead to a television appearance and a job at burger king....really

the daughter of two of the victims....barbara case....does not believe in the death penalty and had this to say:

"if right now he is insane and he doesnt know right from wrong and he doesnt know diddly squat...what purpose would it serve?....id get no satisfaction out of watching him die"

virginias governor tim kaine has spoken out against the death penalty in accordance with his catholic faith....kaine cowardly ignored his own moral convictions in refusing clemency to dexter lee vinson....who was executed in april....kaine is reviewing percy waltons case today....

why not write the govener a brief email asking him to commute waltons sentence to life in prison.....tell him you think its cruel.....morally indefensible and completely unproductive to execute a mentally challenged cat....

picture percy walton tonight....strapped to the table....with an iv full of poison in his arm and a smile on his face....thinking about his new job at burger king.....

think about percy waltons comments on his execution....that it will bring his victims back to life.....its the logic of a child but at the same time it's completely logical....why would they be executing him if not to bring the victims back to life...what would be the justification otherwise....

Capital punishment has no place in a democracy.

Capital punishment has no place in a democracy.

why?  why should someone who kills someone else be allowed to live?

Mostly because 1 person wrongly convinced and executed of a murder they didn't commit is too many.

[SunMo]

i agree.  i'm not saying it should happen while the victim's body is still warm.  but there is a place for it in a functioning society.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The idea of the death penalty in a perfect justice system is fine.  But I think that America's justice system is far from it, so nothing should ever be done that can't be undone.

[phattymatty]

this seriously is effed up though.  the dude thinks that he's going to get a motorcycle ride to burger king if he gets executed.  i don't see the point of putting him down if he's not even aware what's happening.  how is that justice to anyone?

you'll feel silly when that happens
