today's rant: charleston

I live one town over from Lexington, SC, where the church shooter is from. For those unaware, it takes 2 hours to drive from there to Charleston. That is a long time to brood. I don't have that kind of free time. If I did, I'd find something constructive to do. 

I believe in the spirit of the 8th Amendment against cruel and unusual punishment. I do not think anyone should pay fines disproportionate to their crimes. However, I think we can allow some room for torture in the case of first degree murder. The first thing that comes to mind is the opening scene of "Quantum of Solace" where James Bond is strapped naked to a wicker chair with the seat mesh missing and being flogged in the testicles with an overly long slapjack. 

I love that a bunch of white people narced on him. Fuck him.
