Let's hear it for Chief Ramsey!

Because of those god damned Quakers, Pennsylvania has ridiculously stringent blue laws. You can't buy beer and liquor in the same place; only select places can be open on Sunday; you're not allowed to drink and drive, etc. That last one I think is on the books in every state but it's still a ridiculous rule. Actually, it's not illegal in Montana, Mississippi and Indiana where you can drink while you drive, you just can't be drunk while you drive. But there is one thing that Pennsylvania is good at and that's a-killin' people who do bad shit. As one of the 34 states in the country that allows capital punishment, and because I live here, Pennsylvania gets a big thumbs up from me.

I'm (clearly) a proponent of the death penalty. As a matter of fact, I think that it should be used more liberally. For example: Do anything bad to a child? Fuck you. Your ass is going to Rockview (where PA’s death row is located.) See, if the death penalty is going to be a deterrent then you have to USE IT. Make it a capital offense to be a rude obnoxious piece of shit and guess what? You’ll see a drastic decrease in the number of people who run around being rude obnoxious pieces of shit. I’m sorry, but we really don’t need another season of Jersey Shore anyway.

Fortunately, there is one crime that will guaran-fucking-tee you a needle in the arm and that’s killing a cop. As murder goes, killing a cop rates up there with killing a baby on the tragedy scale. How dare someone take the life of another person, let alone the life of another person who has SWORN TO PROTECT YOU? Cops put their life on the line (I know that’s a clichéd phrase but it’s true so fuck you) every single day to protect the rest of us. Now, dirty cops are different of course. If you’re doing stupid shit and something bad happens to you then oh well. But to kill a cop is a heinous offense.

Just over two years ago a Philadelphia Sergeant was shot and killed in the line of duty. His murderer (Howard Cain) was later killed in a gunfight with police. Well guess what? Yesterday the other two guys with him (Eric Floyd and Levon Warner) just received the verdict for their charge of first degree murder from the jury. Guilty. And guess what else? Because Pennsylvania is one of those wonderful states that kills people who kill other people, the prosecution sought the death penalty and hope to Hell that they get it because those fuckers don’t even deserve lethal injection. We should go back to the way it was until around the early 90s when we just electrocuted the shit out of people until they died.

Well anyway, that was basically just about 500 words to preface this: Philly Police Chief Charles Ramsey is the absolute shit and a new hero of mine. Outside of the courthouse following the verdict a reporter asked the chief if he supported the death penalty. His response? “What do you think? I look forward to the day when those two gentlemen once again hook up with Howard Cain in hell.” That is fucking awesome and exactly what I want to hear from a police chief. “Hey chief! Should douchebag assholes that do reprehensible things have to pay for it with their life?” “Fuck and yes they should.”
