tennessee is about to take a quantum leap...
backwards...
william tines was intentionally electrocuted to death in november 1960...
tennessee's ambivalence about carrying out state-homicide meant that 39 1/2 years would pass before it decided to kill a subdued, captured, and defenseless diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic named robert glen coe...
flash forward to june 28, 2006 and tennessee -- at the behest of the office of attorney general paul summers, we, the citizens of the state of tennessee, intend to kill 2 people in one day...sedley alley,who is being denied dna testing that could in fact exonerate him, and the other, paul reid, is a severely mentally ill human being like robert coe...
so let's review...
1 execution in more than 16,600 days
2 executions in 1 day
you do the math...me, i'm busy steadying myself for our collective quantum leap backwards towards barbarity...
peace out - <3
