Smiling about the money they save not feeding/housing the inmate anymore? No empathy there, I guess.

We treat animals better, and considering how poorly animals are treated in this country (especially in red states), that’s really saying something.

They were keeping him alive so they could kill him. And they were keeping him alive while they were killing him. This is sadistic, psychotic behavior. How many people are Worm Brain and Impulsive Moron gonna kill with their fucked up nonsensical, deadly policies? But this one guy had to die. Sickos.
