4. So DNA science can prove guilt to kill a man....
but global warming science that would kill innocent people
has not been proven ? This is what religicons do with the bible.

We give a bright spotlight to a stage full of psychopaths being cheered by an audience full of neanderthals.

39. In conservative Simi Valley
From Wikipedia:

"Simi Valley was ranked the 18th most conservative city in the country in 2005 by GovPro.com"

Easy to understand now.

15. Guessing its mostly a right wing, Republican crowd..
So this outburst of tremendous applause and this "fking A! Right on!!" kind of attitude doesn't surprise me one bit.

17. Due to the authoritarian nature of Republicans
they like their leader to be a ruthless douche bag.

The most heinous crime of our time, are people in power who are deniers of global warming. Seems he would address global warming like Texas being fire, with prayer when it is too late to do anything.

19. It is creepy that people cheered. Wonder how many
people have been wrongly accused and wrongly executed. State execution is murder. That's what the death certificate says. Cause of death "murder". Not joking about that.

20. Was the audience screened beforehand based on their views
about capital punishment? I would like to believe that they came nowhere close to being a typical sample of American people.

I'm afraid that America is sick enough to elect Perry.

23. I thought that God...
was the sole purveyor of ultimate justice. Seems Governor Goodhair has taken on that role now. How can his supporters be so cavalier about a mere mortal usurping his Heavenly Father's rightful place.

To quote the great troubador John Prine,
"Now Jesus don't like killin', no matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you in to Heaven anymore."

25. Judge not, lest you be judged, Texas, for your own guilt in becoming a toxic "womb" birthing
all kinds of abortifacient zombies that go on to feed, "legally" or otherwise, off of the lives of enslaved others.

34. Yes, let's kill
to prove killing is wrong.

The death penalty does nothing to deter violent crime and is more costly than a life term:

35. Here's a poll for ya Govner
A 2010 poll by Lake Research Partners found that a clear
majority of voters (61%) would choose a punishment other than
the death penalty for murder, including life with no possibility
of parole with restitution to the victim’s family (39%), life with
no possibility of parole (13%), or life with the possibility of
parole (9%)

"Clearly the Majority of Americans support Capital Punishment..." .... Clearly.

36. As someone commented to another person on Huffington Post:
"Are you saying that you know 100% that every person who died by Perry was guilty? For a person who probably doesn't trust government any more than Perry says he does, it takes a lot of logic twisting to trust the government to decide who is guilty and who is innocent."

41. The people in that audience in a CONSERVATIVE part of California
are a group of rednecks, mostly transplanted from Southern states, maybe 100 flown in from Texas, who knows?

They are the scariest Americans.

42. I didn't like how Perry grouped all Americans into understanding this.
Saying we all understand justice. No Perry, you can't speak for me in understanding murder in the execution of innocent men and women. Justice my ass.
