Enraged
People say to me Hey, Uncle, you don’t blog much about the eighth amendment. And I say Well, I’m generally a fan. Too bad it prevents the .gov from taking Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes; nailing their sacks to the floor, dousing them with gasoline, and sticking a sparkler or maybe a firecracker in their urethrae. With a fire extinguisher on hand so the process can be repeated. Or, you know, locking them in a room with the nearest kin of the victims, a pair of pliers, a mallet, some sea salt, and a blowtorch. But I guess it’s a good thing we can’t do that.
Note: I typed this a couple days ago and didn’t publish it with the thought that maybe I’d calm down about it. I didn’t.
