"But I Want to Go Home! Let's Just Let All the Murderers Go."
I've always thought one of the main purposes of government is to make bad people dead, and that's why I thought I should comment on George Ryan's blanket commutation of murderers' death sentences in Illinois. Reportedly, while trying to decide whom he should take off death row, he finally just gave up and said, "I can't play God." Was the rest of that statement, "...or any other role that involves a mild amount of responsibility." If I get this right, instead of at least looking through the cases and leaving the most vile murderers on death row, the ones of whom there wasn't even a dispute of guilt, he just shrugged his shoulders and exclaimed, "This is too hard. Let's give up." Right after his decision to slack off and let everyone go, Ryan remarked, "I'm going to sleep well tonight knowing I made the right decision." That's probably because he has guards around his home and an anti-murderer alarm system. The rest of us aren't so lucky. Maybe we have guns, but they can't shoot murderers while we're sleeping (note to self: design gun that can shoot murderers while one is sleeping; must have silencer). I just hope the next governor, the once with the unpronounceable name that I won't even attempt to spell (I tried copying and pasting from a news article, but, by the time I went to paste, the computer forgot how to spell it), won't be as big a jackass. Then again, he is a Democrat. 8 Responses To ""But I Want to Go Home! Let's Just Let All the Murderers Go.""
The new governor's name is Rod Blggggggg...dammnit, it's happening to me, too. #1 - Posted by: David Jaroslav on January 14, 2003 07:27 PMEven our local paper has started calling our new governor Blago... But seriously, only four people were actually released from death row. The commutations changed the other sentences from death to life in prison. #2 - Posted by: Jennifer Boobar on January 15, 2003 11:56 AMBlogged about the Pompous Pimple and his commutation HERE What I don't understand is the whole driver's license thing. Is it that hard to get one in Illinois that you have to bribe someone? I had trouble with parallel parking, but come on... #3 - Posted by: Chuck on January 15, 2003 03:38 PMChuck, We're talking about Illinois state government, here: getting the license isn't hard, but they throw in the bribe just for the hell of it. #4 - Posted by: David Jaroslav on January 15, 2003 11:13 PMIf it was just regular driver's licenses I wouldn't get so fired up about it... it was commercial truck operators permits... the kind that allow the bearer to drive semis through your (and my) hometown. We had a driver who bought an Illinois license hit a school bus down here and killed three kids. I guess he didn't know you're supposed to check your brakes and get them fixed if they don't work. That is on the test. There are random stories of the same from all over the country. I prefer that the truckers driving beside me on the interstate actually take and pass the operator's exam, thank you. I hope Ryan breaks out in a thousand assholes and dies of the drizzling shits. #5 - Posted by: Mike S on January 16, 2003 07:45 AMIt's Mr. Governor Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-go!!! The 'Blah' is for the kind of Governor he'll be Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Lets' just watch & see all the 'promises' he DOES'NT keep!! This is GREAT; Prove yourself MR. Governer!! Ignorant S.O.B. ....oh sorry, that's what your name means...OOPS! #6 - Posted by: Glen D on January 18, 2003 06:27 PM"I can't play God." Was the rest of that statement, "...or any other role that involves a mild amount of responsibility." Heh heh. Funny stuff. #7 - Posted by: on January 22, 2004 11:22 AMwon't be as big a jackass. Then again, he is a Democrat. SO TRUE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA #8 - Posted by: Will on April 9, 2004 10:20 AMPost a comment
