Sometimes the things I read in the paper just crack me up. So for this mornings laugh I read:
Since the beginning of the year, Detroit police said, there have been 62 homicides in the city: 35 in January, 24 in February, including the fatal shootings of Detroit Officers Jennifer Fettig and Matthew Bowens.
Sixty-two killings, in sixty-two days. But wait....now for the kicker:
The poll shows 56 percent supporting capital punishment for first-degree murder, and 34 percent opposed. But voters are evenly divided when given a choice between execution and locking up convicted killers for life without parole -- the current Michigan penalty for first-degree murder. The strongest support for capital punishment is in central Michigan, while it is most strongly opposed in the city of Detroit, according to the poll.
Detroit is the nations murder capital but it doesn't want capital punishment. Apparently we don't want the state to take over yet one more of our rights? Have I ever mentioned Detroit is fucked up?
"Detroit is the nations murder capital but it doesn't want capital punishment. Apparently we don't want the state to take over yet one more of our rights?"
So does that mean that you're for or against capital punishment? Just because its the national murder capital, doesn't mean that law enforcement wants to carry on that reputation by killing off people themselves.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense, or if i read that wrong, heh, im tired.
