Pepean nightmare

Man chokes and stabs to death girlfriend and the child she was bearing? Nah, Pepe won't bat an eyelid at that -- it's all background noise. But the State of Texas convicting the killer and planning to execute him for murdering an "unborn fetus"? My, my, my, this must be deep into pinko heart-attack territory! Quick, call the ACLU! The European Commission!! Do something!!!

[Thought this could use an object lesson, AI. --JJ]

This case certainly brings up legal questions. Were there two murders or one? The death of the fetus' being a murder depends on the mother's intent. If it was to abort the child, then what happened was a very poorly executed abortion as far as the law is concerned. Then he's getting death for malpractice....

Not supporting the death penalty is "not batting an eye" at murder ? If it ain't john wayne justice, it's no justice ? talk about parochialism...

Mr roT said...

We were talking about parochialism?

{ Death sentence passed by jury and judge in a duly appointed court of law, with all the zillion appeals to come, all the way to the Supreme court } = { john wayne justice }? Hey, man, that's deep. It must take many years of arduous education in the finest schools France has to offer in order to come up with such equations.

JJ: Good clip! I never saw it. Sounds like a classic.

You tube is becoming an obsession. I hope you don't mind when the connections become tenuous. BTW, I don't know why you guys didn't like the John Waters tube. I think he's uproariously funny. Thought Pepe would go nuts too.

i meant capital punishment is john wayne justice. or are you objecting based on the fact that, since only iran, iraq, lybia, china, russia and a few other nations with questionable human rights records still practice it routinely, the john wayne epitet is inapropriate?

JJ - yes

Mr roT said...

That's a different kind of parochialism, I'd guess. By your examples, we seem rather worldly in our similarities to China, Iran, Burma, Libya, Saudi Arabia,... You could even say this is our anthem.

great video by the way.

Mr roT said...

Ah, merde! I knew the Guignols had a regular about Stallone! Someone told me a story about him saying something like "Hah you stipid fromages qui pu! That's no way to run a country with all these strikes..."

Mr roT said...

uh, puent?

Tecumseh said...

JJ, JJ, you're slippin'. Mistaking Stallone for Kerry? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Pepe: That was a funny video -- all right, I'll have to concede: French education is still good for something. But note: videos---like the internet, computers, basically everything people are using nowadays, except the jet engine---was invented by those stooopid John Wayne Ricains. Darn! Life is a bitch, eh?

as well as the big mac, the atomic bomb, soap operas, the dukes of hazard, baseball, jerry springer and donald trump. the last two on their own outweigh your list.

Parochialism, JJ, is the Burning Bush of the Hour. After all, has not just Mother Harvard made "Parochialism" the au courant leitmotif of the chic dick intellects?

Mr roT said...

The Atom bomb would get rid of a few of them, I guess. To bad it was the product of the USA's parochialism down thar in N'Mexica.
