Rep. Brad Drake (R-FL) Introduces Bill to Bring Back Firing Squads After Conversation at Waffle House Restaurant

Rep. Brad Drake (R-FL) wants to bring back firing squads. He filed a bill this week that would end the use of lethal injection in Florida executions and those with death sentences could choose between electrocution or a firing squad. According to media reports, Drake said the idea came to him after having a conversation with a constituent at a Waffle House over the legal battles associated with the Sept. 28 execution of Manuel Valle, whose lawyers tried to stop the execution by arguing that a new lethal drug cocktail would cause him pain and therefore constitute cruel and unusual punishment. The courts rejected his arguments and the execution went forward. This is how dangerous many lawmakers have become in this country. Thanks to all the people who voted for him or failed to go out to vote for his opponent. We don't need anyone who dares to play judge and jury in the lives of people in this country. Besides, which legislator in their right mind would formulate and introduce a bill that could have a great impact on the state because of a conversation he had at Waffle House? Really? There is a serious problem in Florida, as with other states, on how they handle death penalty cases. Florida leads the nation with one of the highest exoneration rates. So, are they willing to allow the state to be embarrassed after killing an innocent person by firing squad?

Kimberly Saenz, Former Nurse, Charged With Injecting 10 Patients With Bleach, Killing Five

Kimberly Saenz, a former nurse, has been charged with injecting 10 patients with bleach at a dialysis center in Lufkin. Five patients were killed as a result of her cruel and reckless actions. According to media reports, she has been indicted by an Angelina County grand jury on one count of capital murder and five counts of aggravated assault. She's charged with injecting bleach into the blood stream of her dialysis patients over a span of four weeks last April.

Saenz was charged last May with two counts of aggravated assault for injecting bleach into two patients. Both lived. She wasn't charged in any deaths until this week's indictments, which link her to five deaths. Saenz is in the Angelina County jail without bond. What would possess someone to commit these heinous acts is unconscionable. Well, she is in Texas and we all know that the prosecutors there have no qualms about seeking the death penalty, which is justifiable in this case. The last thing a patient expects is to be injected with bleach. Shameful and sick is all I can say to this. This woman needs to get the same treatment she meted out to the victims.

Shannon Cade, 18, Murders Girlfriend Brittney Wells, Dumps Her Body in Apartment Complex Dumpster

Britteny Wells' body discovered in apartment complex dumpster

What could lead a young man, Shannon Cade, 18, to allegedly murder his girlfriend 17-year-old Brittney Wells is beyond me. But what is equally disturbing is the fact that he dumped her body in an apartment complex dumpster. It seems that more and more of our young people have no respect for life. What would drive this monster to allegedly murder this young lady is unconscionable and deserves the death penalty. This is a case of domestic abuse and at such a young age.

Police said Cade strangled Wells inside the Willow Creek Apartments early Thursday morning. Police said they responded to the scene after receiving an anonymous 911 call. The tipster said they saw a car speed away from an apartment complex dumpster after someone dumped something that looked like a body.

Police believe several witnesses watched as Cade dumped the girl’s body in the trash bin. A 14-year-old boy has been charged with concealing a death. Police believe Wells went to Cade’s apartment voluntarily but then was held against her will, Clarkston Police Chief Tony Scipio said.

This is reprehensible and if this scumbag doesn't realize this is a death penalty state, he is in for a rude awakening. Clarkston police said that they expect to charge more people in the crime. This case screams for the death penalty and I hope they dump his body in a dumpster too. It seems that this young man neither valued the woman's life nor his, which is essentially over at this point.
