an interview yesterday on NPR - I think it was Here and Now - where they were talking with an ABC reporter out of Arkansas who said the people, inflamed by one lawmaker in particular, were incensed that their ability to execute these men was overturned.

Then I'm confused about the relevance of you bringing this up. The99thTimeLord Apr 2017 #16

I was simply highlighting why is make no sense that you would compare yourself to him. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #17
