(94 posts)Yes, I'm being terribly irreverent in the fact that I'm comparing the government of TX to Nazi's and using some imagery that will trigger emotions from many people.
My intent with my post is most certainly to shock and cause people to be appalled. Appalled at the fact we still have the death sentence in the US.
Hide my post at your will jurors. Just don't hide my intention to wish people might begin to think due to some imagery that is unpleasant. That has been the intent of art and literature for many ages.
There should be no such thing as a 'death penalty' in this century.
