Murder. They murdered an innocent man.

Just putting this out there, but imho "executed" reads far worse - as in it has community agreement behind it, whereas "murdered" sounds like something that someone does all on their own.

You can be tried for murder

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But nobody actually will be, at least in these last two cases. Everything's horrifying, but at least I have gin!

Yeah, it's why I'm glad we don't have the death penalty here. People can't be trusted with it.

How about a compromise . An execution style murder.

Exodus 23:7: "Have no part in the execution of an innocent man!"

Exodus 23:8: "Unless he's black and you know he deserves it anyway."

The Supply Side Jesus version.

At least, according to the meme, I’m a handsome daddy

According to the meme you're looking at a handsome daddy from outside his balcony

Going to cheer myself up by having sex with RFK Jr's daughter.
