I believe slower vehicle holding up traffic, more than 5 piled up behind him, is supposed to yield to their passing. Nice to see somebody in England with balls, even though a girl |

Did anybody here read the words that were on the video?????
This must be in England where they still have fox hunts possibly illegally. The guy on the bike was a supporter of the hunts and the people in the car were some sort of monitors kind of like a neighborhood watch for fox hunts. So the bike rider was purposely getting in their way. I found this in 10 seconds. http://www.brightonanimalaction.org/...aigns/hunting/ "harryagain" wrote in message ...

I almost got executed! I better straighten up and do right!" Of course he may very well think that if he got away with it once, he will escape punishment again! It is said that the wheels of justice grind slowly, but they grind very fine. We'll get him eventually, no matter how many we have to execute. |

You killed off all your carriers - or shipped them to penal colonies - generations ago. What's left are wimps. Either it's no deterrent or you're getting the wrong people. Or your cops are ****. Frankly, our cops arrest the squints every chance they get, it's the juries and the judges we elect that turn them loose. Plus, I shudder to think what the murder rate would be without what deterrence there is. |

For like forever, the condemned person got to specify what he wanted to eat for his last meal, up to, I think, about $25. That is, somebody would gather the required food from outside sources (if necessary). The inmate could, for example, ask for KFC chicken, watermelon, Blue Bell ice cream, a cut of prime rib, or almost anything else, even if not normally provided by the prison kitchen. No more. So here's my idea: A website, possibly called "lastmeal.org" which would solicit donations to provide this now-missing last act of mercy and charity. Of course there would be significant overhead, salaries and so forth... |

Can they even give the condemned a meal before an IV? |

Can they even give the condemned a meal before an IV? I expect they can. Say the guy is on a self-declared hunger strike. He needs to be kept alive so he doesn't cheat justice and get a proper execution. Depending on the agency, he could be force feed 2100 liquid calories with a tube and funnel before being put too death. |
