Dear Asshole:

Congratulations, Mr. Reagan,

Tomorrow you and the esteemed Governor Riley will have the immense pleasure of turning one irreparably fractured family into two. I can see the logic behind your decision: if Candace Brown's family has to suffer, then it's only natural for Michael Land's family to be hurt as well. No, none of them had anything to do with the crime, but surely they deserve to be punished anyway. Why have just one mother lose her child when we could have two innocent women mourning their children for the rest of their lives? I'm sure that's what Jesus would have wanted.

No, wait... murder is a sin, isn't it? I seem to recall hearing that somewhere. Although, I suppose it's not murder if you're sitting behind a desk encouraging a death sentence and not pulling a trigger yourself, or depressing the plunger on a syringe. And if the laws of Alabama say you can kill someone, well, surely God will agree, right? After all, sentencing a man to death does resurrect the victim and return her to her family... oh, no, that's not quite right, is it?

I sincerely hope you enjoy sitting down to dinner tonight knowing that you have inflicted pain on people who don't deserve it and accomplished nothing else in the process. When you go to church Sunday morning perhaps you can ask your pastor or priest to review that whole "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, said the Lord" thing with you, since you seem to have been asleep for that part.

Have a good evening, Mr. Reagan. And sweet dreams.

Livid and disgusted... again

Bored? Email sonny.reagan@governor.alabama.gov and tell him he's a hypocritical, inhuman piece of shit.

Merriam-Webster tells us that homicide is the killing of one person by another. Period. No mention of legality or of public figures being exempt from that. So, logic would then lead us to the conclusion that the guy who causes one man to be poisoned to death is, in fact, responsible for that homicide. Right? I'm not a fucking super-genius; if I can work this one out on my own, then why can't the lawmakers in this state?

Bob Riley is an asshole and a moron, and so is every motherfucker who works for him. And every last one of them has blood on his hands. It makes me wish I believed in hell so I could tell myself they would go there.
