Because the big business of the incarceration industry got in your pocket?

Win-Win;

No one will accidently be murdered by the state and you can fill your corporate prisons!

The death penalty is more often applied when the victims are white. That’s really the racial bias. Black people are not given the death sentence more than whites.

Barking up the wrong tree, sport. Checking hinself into treatment is endearing to most people.

Great! This means I can go on that killing spree I've been planning. Just joking!

> I think he was honestly shocked that he won and quickly found out how in over his head he was. I think he's realizing that he's not up to the enormous responsibilities his position holds which contributed to his depression. I wish him well but what happens next if he needs to step down?

OR you're vastly misinformed and clinical depression is a very common after effect of a stroke and he's trying to treat that.

Woah dude you spoke to Jesus? Did you get a selfie?

Good. Every time I bring up the fact that we should abolish the death penalty I get mocked for being a bleeding heart liberal. Honestly that isn't the case. I couldn't care less if a mass shooter gets put to death. What I do care about is the wrongly convicted getting murdered by the state. Death is kind of an irreversible process, and I don't know why anyone would trust the justice system THAT much. Plus it's almost always cheaper on the tax payer to pay for someone to spend life behind bars then the cost of putting someone on death row. No seriously, if you haven't already, look up the cost of putting someone on death row vs. life in prison. It's mind boggling.

The Venn diagram of pedophiles and child sexual abusers (or child molesters if you want to use that term) is not a circle.

If you want a fair judicial system, you can't also want the death penalty.

If someone is spending life in jail, we always have the opportunity to catch a wrongful imprisonment and there's the chance for appeal.

If they're dead, those chances are gone. The death penalty is cutting short their opportunity for due process.

What kind of Rockefeller Republican shit is this? :)

I don't believe the wind just magically made it go away. Moved it, sure. And that's the worrisome part.

The only "pro" for the death penalty is that people who would refuse to use violence against others get to witness the state use violence on people they consider "sub par".

I would argue that death is probably better than "sit in this prison until you die".

They really did.

Circling back around to this: if you live or work in or near State College, reach out to a board member who represents your county. They DO have a time for Public Forum the second Wednesday of the month at 12:30PM, but you can submit emails that get read then as well.

You can also reach out to Dr. John Spychalski who is chair of the "Passenger Excursion Committee."

If citizens raise their voices, we are more likely to see things happen.

For rapists? Sure. But being one isn't a crime in an of itself- they can't help how they were born and statements like yours do nothing to get them help.

That's it? What if someone kills a kid but doesn't sexually assault them?

But did these clouds travel through the plume and pick up particulates?

The media is covering it now? Only took 2 weeks. I gave up trying to find anything.

Also wasn't the rail industry deregulated in the 70s? And with precision scheduled railroading, it's wall street types that pushed their staff to the brink of exhaustion for the sake of the shareholders? You know, the free market? You must really think we're dumb to not see through your weird bad argument

No question that it is traveling through the watersheds, but I think it’s a bit irrational to think that the material has completed the entire water cycle of being spilled, hitting a river, diluting in the body of water, evaporating, joining the preexisting rainy conditions, which would dilute it again, and then falling as rain in south central PA in a density that would be noticeable to the OP.

There’s plenty of reasons to be concerned with the effects of this incident, I just don’t think this is one of them. 👍

What do you expect people to say? 'OH, the Democrats screwed up? Cool thanks I'm not mad anymore"? Not everyone's a hyper partisan nut job; you can still be critical of the same party member
