Sorry I thought I would make an obvious troll. :P

Well you have taken some rather extreme positions in the past, so I thought I'd tease more of a response out of you before jumping down your throat...

So how long before he actually fries?  Or could we blow him up with a bomb?

There's always a couple years of appeals.

I was going to suggest Cristie sits on him, then I realised I confused Massachusetts with New Jersey.  :Embarrass:

I think Joker will be executed by the Federales.  They could always federalize Christie for day to carry out the sentence.

Christie is big enough to sit on both NJ and MA.

Yup.  Apparently the first one they've sentenced to death since McVeigh.

Some of the more dubious prosecutions in the US always seem to be done at the state level.  As far as I can tell the Federal prosecutions are well respected.

Even lower.  County or city I would say.

Sentencing him to death is a mistake.  Oh well.

I disagree.  It was the only rational move.

Explain.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I suggest extraditing him to North Korea for death with anti air rocket.

I disagree.  It's less of a punishment, it will make him a martyr to other crazies like him and his dead bro, and last but not least, it's fundamentally wrong for the state to put people to death.

Two rational reasons and only one emotional one.  Not bad.
