Why not do the same to him?

Because, imo, that approach only brings us down to that level of barbarism.

Well to start with, probably not beating his 5-year-old daughter to death with a baseball bat.

I'm not even pro-death penalty, but don't be fucking absurd.

I think your sarcasm detector is broken.

He said he was sorry for killing his family. Jesus what more do you want...

"A Texas inmate was executed Wednesday evening for an attack that killed his pregnant wife, 5-year-old daughter and father-in-law more than a decade ago.
John Hummel received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the December 2009 killings.

Authorities say Hummel stabbed his wife, Joy Hummel, more than 30 times, then used a baseball bat to beat to death his daughter, Jodi Hummel, and his 57-year-old father-in-law, Clyde Bedford, who used a wheelchair. He then set their home on fire in Kennedale, a Fort Worth suburb.

Hummel, strapped to the death chamber gurney, said a brief prayer that ended with him saying he would be with Jesus when I wake.

I truly regret killing my family, he said, then thanked friends for their prayers and support.

I love each and every one of you," he added.
As the lethal dose of the sedative pentobarbital began to take effect, he took a half-dozen breaths, then began snoring quietly. About a minute later, all movement stopped, although his eyes didn't completely close. He was pronounced dead at 6:49 p.m. CDT, 13 minutes later.

It was too easy, Cecil Bedford, whose brother was among those killed, said after watching Hummel die. It was like going to sleep. He said a punishment more severe would be more appropriate. A rope, a guillotine, a firing squad. There's all kinds of good stuff to kill people. They should get what they deserve. An eye for an eye. I'm sorry. I'm old school.

Prosecutors say he killed his family because he wanted to run off with a woman he met at a convenience store. After the fire, Hummel fled to Oceanside, California, near San Diego, but was later arrested. Investigators say he confessed to the killings.

Hummel, 45, who had worked as a hospital security guard, was convicted of capital murder for the deaths of his 34-year-old wife and father-in-law. He was not tried for his daughters death.

His attorney, Michael Mowla, did not file any last-minute appeals before his execution, saying all available legal avenues had been exhausted.
Appeals courts rejected Mowlas attempts to stop his execution because Hummel had not been properly assessed on whether he would be a future danger a question Texas juries must answer in death penalty cases. Mowla also unsuccessfully argued the appearance of impropriety as Hummels trial lawyer now works for the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorneys Office, which convicted him.

Hummel had been scheduled to be executed on March 18, 2020, but it was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bedfords sister, Cylinda Bedford, said her family still doesnt understand why Hummel killed his family. She described Joy Hummel, who worked as a massage therapist, as outgoing and bubbly. Jodi had been excited about starting school and Clyde Bedford, who was better known by his nickname Eddie, loved that grandbaby, Cylinda Bedford said."

I have no idea what the fuck that is
I don't even handle MIS. I just set the thing up

Mmmph. Thanks anyway.

I think so, yes. I think we just get confused because what we as humans and individuals think will make us happy is often very different than what God sees will make us happy.

I go to take attendance and there's this shit that says "Off Track" for certain students, which won't let me count them either way, and it's a freaking mystery to everyone here.

...So, this is going to be a fun night in London!!

I think I can hear the party from all the way here in Texas

Holy crap!

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who saidTwo vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Probably gonna play Silent Hill Homecoming. It's 12 years old and I never finished after the first (sigh) Pyramid Head appearance. Was put off by that.

Now I choose to look at it like PH is a tulpa that continues to resonate within the town.

Cool. Yeah, that game is kind of meh, but it's ok. What system?

Yeah but I'd probably die of a heart attack.
