That's because the State I was raised in has no death penalty, Matt. We gotta have some way of dealing with assholes like that. And we don't beat and stomp people to death for simple battery either. That just gets your ass kicked. But you can be beaten and stomped to death for being an asshole like that. It would be her disrespect and attitude, not her physical actions, that could result in that.

"Disrespect and attitude" merit death, huh?

Wow.

Only when it's as despicable as that, especially coming from someone that should know better and is in a position of power, yes. We don't have a whole lot of patience for bullshit like that up there.

Wow. Just amazing.

Just to be clear - you advocate this killing for "Disrespect and attitude", do you? You'd advocate the death penalty (formal or informal) for this deputy who committed a simple battery?

Someone can still be classified as quadriplegic if they simply have limited mobility or partial paralysis in their four limbs.

Did you not watch the video???? What is there to be skeptic about? The man was mercilessly dumped on the floor of the police station! And yes, the man is considered a quadriplegic.

I believe the officer can be charged with a felony because her victim was handicapped but I don't think the death penalty is warranted!

I wasn't advocating it, Matt! Damn, you sure do go off the deep end making wild and absurd extrapolations about what people write. I was just trying to convey the depth of disgust most folks in that part of the country feel towards assholes like her. But I reckon that realization just whizzed right by you. But, we both know things do tend to move a little slower in the South in general, don't we?

Sometimes, Matt, sometimes......

Apparently, you are confused about what a "?" (that's a question mark, BTW) means.

I was asking you IF you advocated it. I was not concluding that you DID advocate it, but rather I was not clear from your posts whether you supported the actions you claim would have happened where you grew up.

But hey, don't pass up a chance to fly off the handle and wig out....

If they'd beat someone to death for dumping a handicapped person out of his wheelchair, what would they do to someone who dumped a handicapped person out of his wheelchair into a large body of water?
