The grisly history of death row: Agonising three-hour death from botched lethal injection, notorious last meals and the real-life execution that has eerie parallels to Green Mile
There is something terribly wrong with this country when black thugs are better at killing people than state executioners. What's up with this bullsh*it, morons? Do you want me to buy you guns?
Agonising three-hour death from botched lethal injection,
I'm surprised you didn't focus on yesterday's execution by nitrogen gas or whatever it was. He was basically suffocated and it wasn't quick. Apparently it's because they can't get the drugs for the lethal injections. Couldn't they use hanging or death by firing squad? Albert Pierrepoint the British hangman could get the condemned person out of the cell and dispatched in under ten seconds.
Very striking that the last sentence of his autobiography says that in all the decades later he was doing that job he doesn't believe it deterred even one single person from committing murder
He also suggested that the authorities should keep an eye on all the ghouls who used to write to him volunteering to do the job.
he doesn't believe it deterred even one single person from committing murder
I'd agree with that - I think it's more about satisfying the public's lust for vengeance. The death penalty, especially in the form it exists in America, has no place in a civilised society but then as I always say, the USA is not civilised.
Guinness actually tastes so much better in Ireland than than in the USA. It doesnt travel well and most bartenders dont know how to pour it. They even have a can with a plastic activation device that starts bubbling when you crack the can open.. Avoid the can at all costs.

Of course. Most beers available in the USA taste like urine. That was one of the reasons I left after a year. Ha!!! You drink pee, Joker, while Europeans enjoy true beer. hahahaha
what will we do with you!
The same what we did with the drunken sailor. Hang him by the balls from the highest mast! hahahahaha Atch, can you perform the operation??? I am too busy right now........
Just a fifth of Chicago voters think progressive Mayor Brandon Johnson is doing a good job only eight months after he was elected, as Windy City tackles migrant crisis and he refuses to end sanctuary city status
Hey, morons, you had a chance to elect the white guy but you, morons, decided to be "progressive". So eat sh*it and enjoy your sanctuary hell...
I still like you because you are Irish just like Enya.
Would you believe that one of the first songs I learned was I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls. My mother, same as Enya's mother, used to sing it and I picked it up from hearing her. Then of course once I started trying to sing it myself - I was about four or five at the time - my mother would step in and tell me if I was doing the phrasing wrongly or singing a false note.
The next song I remember learning from her was The Little Road To Bethlehem by Michael Head.
This was my favourite verse. I loved the high notes on 'your star of gold'. When you hit that high note, it feels like flying!
"Across the air the silver sheep-bell rang, "The lambs are coming home," sweet Mary sang, "Your star of gold, your star of gold is shining in the sky, So sleep, my little King, go lullaby."
This one is beyond divine...When I first heard it, I called the radio station to find out who did it. It meets all my specs of perfection - I wanted to hear it again, I could repeat it, and it stays in your brain forever. The fact that Enya is simply a beautiful woman helped, too...
Very reserved and softly spoken too. She's a fairly typical Donegal woman of her generation. I've known a good few of them and you really have to watch your ps and qs around them - no swearing like a docker :)

Your mother's interventions stunted your development.
If you had done the right thing and ignored her like any tearaway child much lauded by the leftist establishment media (then and now) you too could have both realized and contributed to true Irish culture.
You may have even bagged an interview about it.
Fatima Al-Kassab of woke National Public Radio deconstructs and reports!
"It might sound like other rap music. The group Kneecap raps about partying and taking drugs and being young. What makes their music different, though, is that they're rapping in the Irish language. Their popularity reflects a demographic shift: Catholics now outnumber Protestants there. Experts say Irish reunification isn't a matter of 'if' but 'when.'"
