Bless Me, Ultima

"Like all of us in this room, he is a human being," attorney Teri Duncan said in closing arguments in the first phase of McCluskey's sentencing trial in federal court. "With flaws, but a human being nonetheless."

Duncan also quoted one of her favorite childhood books, "Bless Me, Ultima," where one of the characters teaches that "when you understand, you see it is not evil." [More]

I'd be all for him living with her, as long as he couldn't get to anyone else.

I'm not exactly a fan of state-imposed death penalties, but defense attorneys saying, in effect, that, "John McCluskey has uncontrollable impulses due to inherent psychological and physiological damage that causes him to kill people" probably isn't the best argument against putting him down.

Maybe Duncan is just setting up an appeal based on "my attorney is freaking incompetent!"

So - that POS is what the so-called "progressives" (you can bet she's one) want to inflict on the public - all the while assuring they don't have access to the best means of self-preservation.

If a fire extinguisher is ever used to kill a POS like McCluskey, watch for the "progressive/commies/anti-freedom movement rally to ban fire extinguishers.

I agree. Let her live with McCluskey. Just keep him the hell away from humans and other mammals.

That asshole can't die soon enough.
