A bullet would have prevented this. Or let the family deal with her.

We have gotten too soft in this nation. There should be no concern for the person being put to death. There was no concern for the victim.

Said it before and I'll say it again, capital punishment is barbaric. We're made less as a society/nation/people because we allow it to happen.

Seems like an act of God to me. MAGA knows about God, they talk about Him so much.

A bullet would have prevented SUBLIBERAL, but I'm sure he's never done anything wrong.

I often wonder what people like subhuman would do if they were raped and beaten from say the age of 6 months until their early teens. I am sure they would develop into well-adjusted and contributing members of society.

In the christian belief system, if you sin in your heart you have sinned for real. Like the actual thought of something means you have done that thing. Like if you have lusted after someone you have committed adultry

Subhuman has wished to murder someone. By christian beliefs he has therefore murdered someone and should be shot dead.

Or more likely, someone in the chain of custody for the drugs didn't think the woman should be killed and messed with the bottles

Perhaps.

Or maybe someone thought women only needed a lower dose of the drug for it to work.

Or maybe it's . . .
