How Racist is Too Racist?

Test yourself on constitutionally acceptable racism!

I got a 4.

Man with reading age of nine-year-old to be executed in Georgia tonight

In their filing with the Supreme Court, Fults’ lawyers argue his death sentence is unconstitutional because one of the jurors who imposed it was motivated by racial prejudice...“Once he pled guilty, I knew I would vote for the death penalty because that’s what that (N-word) deserved,” Buffington said, according to the signed, 12 April, 2005 affidavit in the court record.

Nice one. The time for the US to join the modern world and abolish the death penalty is well overdue.
 
I still find it nuts that judges and sheriffs are directly elected
Me too.

I just ask my mate who's Dad came from the Liberties who to vote for. He's all up in that Boston politics.
"O'Brien is a St Mark's parish guy but he's solid union, used to be carpenter. He's a good pick for councillor"
Politics here are wicked local, people still identify with their parish and union local hall.

This guy has signs everywhere all the time.

No idea how it is out in the suburbs and outside of MA.
 
It's great to have politics that is so local but when it comes to punishment there's gotta be a better way. Our system isn't great either - the government of the day elects judges as they see fit (to the highest courts anyway, not sure how it works at district level), that should really be changed. There was some mention of it on RTE yesterday with regard to the new programme for government, must have a look into that.
