They’ll say “awww, topsy”

At my autopsy

The more you read about that shithead edison, the worse it gets. The asshole acted with an impunity that defies modern logic.
As it was, there was no social media and our current sensibilities back then, information took much more effort to spread, so way too many people have revered him as some sort of saintly hero. Word didn’t spread about how narcissistic and petty, how cruel to the point of savagery, he was.

That goes ditto for Marconi, his “billion-dollar innovation” consisted of stealing every academic research idea and design within reach, and patenting every single one as his own.

First he wanted to kill her off, now they found electric love

PhlubbaDubba ,

Man literally invented the electric chair entirely to showcase how bad going out this way is, and the psychopaths of the prison industrial complex wonder why people are becoming sceptical of the notion that the death penalty can be administered in any way that isn’t cruel and unusual.

The whole point of punitive death is to be cruel and unusual to the alleged transgressor, to offer their corpse as a blood sacrifice on the altar of sadistic vengeance to the victims or the next of kin thereof

Maggoty ,

Quick and painless execution was solved long ago. Shotgun from behind them. Like a light switch turning off. But it is rough on the guards.

The real problem is we keep finding innocent people on death row. People that SCOTUS can’t even hand waive away. Until recently SCOTUS just up and ruled that new evidence can’t be considered by federal courts. So now innocent people on Death Row are pretty much just relying on the good will of the governor.

So yeah, we know we’re killing innocent people and we refuse to stop.

TIL Edison didn’t kill Topsy the elephant, but did electrocute a bunch of stray animals.

I’ve seen electrocuted being wrongly use when referring to being shocked, but not the viceversa
