Does this mean that people will be moving from Texas to Ohio in droves because they don't have to worry about the death penalty anymore?

I think that was the joke. If you're from Texas, the retarded part is already covered.


As an Ohio resident, I say good. It's one step closer to joining the rest of the civilized world and doing away with the death penalty all together.

No, what part of them being retarded don't you get? If they were smart enough
to move from Texas they wouldn't be retarded. It's like a Catch 22 but with a
lower IQ numbering system.

My mother works for an agency for retarded people. (kick) They have people all the time who unfortunately, always make a suicidal ideation (threat) on a regular basis. Thankfully, they never carry out the threat, but I think it proves that these people sometimes just don't know what they're doing. I just wish there were more ways we could help these people besides snarking at them.

Will this ruling apply to everyone in Ohio? I mean, you have to be retarded to live there on purpose.

Texas actually has much better racial diversity on death row than other states do. We're very proud of our evenhanded barbarism.

You're right! When you put it that way I'm surprised that more people don't
aspire to such a wonderful life! Could it get any better?

I was going to claim that Texas has to allow the mentally handicapped to be executed, otherwise they might as well abolish the death penalty.

But I guess yours works too.

Or, more accurately, your policy so long as the murderer is poor, black, uneducated, or unintelligent. It helps if the victim was white, too.

What is really the problem with Ohio or Texas, I never understand the random hate for random states. They ain't much different (and actually better) than the other 48, I'm sure wherever you people are from it sucks just as hard.

On the bright side, medius, you can never be put to death.

It doesn't save much money thanks to the American legal system and their never-ending string of appeals. It would solve the prison overpopulation issue though.

I think eye for an eye is a great system.

Newsflashiathe USA is the only country in the western world where the death penalty for a retarded person (or anyone else) is even considered. Amnesty International puts you in the same category as Iran, Saudi Arabia and China. Let us know when you flea-bitten savages are ready to join the civilised world. Now go wrap yourself in the flag and swear an oath of allegiance or whatever it is you people do.
