Death penalty is properly used for most heinous crimes

Regarding Arizona can be next state to reject the death penalty (Opinions, Feb.16):
As a county attorney with responsibility for deciding when to seek a death sentence, I believe it is necessary, once again, to set the record straight.
Bob Quick, a member of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, asks whether Arizonans feel better for having executed six murderers in 2012. That is a non sequitur.
Consider how these convicts earned their death sentences: Richard Stokely kidnapped, raped and murdered two 13-year-old girls; Daniel Cook kidnapped, tortured, sodomized and murdered two men; Samuel Lopez burglarized, raped, beat and stabbed a woman; Thomas Kemp, kidnapped, robbed and murdered his victim; Robert Towery robbed and injected his victim with battery acid, and then strangled him; Robert Moorman, while on furlough from prison, murdered his mother, chopped her body into pieces, and threw her remains in dumpsters.
You sound like me after I first moved to Texas and saw my first giant cockroach, I was ready to run back to Ohio. lol
So proud of myself for planting my flowers.
black petunias
yellow petunias
2 stella d'or
1 grass (we have similar weather to AZ- dry and hot summers)
and 1 beautiful orange dahlia I planted for Travis and my Father. I'll take pics when they grow a bit.

You are so funny, but I totally agree. I did go to the feed store and got some granules for outside and spray for inside. But, I am still spooked. Oh and I also have some sticky strips from Terminex. Oooooh. I can't stand it.
The first time I saw one was when we moved to Houston. They call them pine bark beetles or water beetles, but never cockraoches. :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

OT, but I am really bothered. I have been killing and looking for scorpions all day. There were two in my bedroom this morning and I am afraid they are going to get in my bed.
Anyone with any advice or experience with these bad bugs???? ty

*Exterminators* You can always get a black light flash light and go night hunting for the nasty critters!:scared:
This is what I killed this morning, down by my pond, giving my wolfdogs the business. 20" long, 7 rattles, and in a REALLY bad mood. Need to quit shooting them and just bean them with a shovel, end up shooting the tail off with the head:banghead:

Last week, we had a Bobcat hanging out by the horses at around 1:00 am....it was NOT a pretty picture. Horses and wolfdogs going nuts, and couldn't get a bead on "Bob" in the dark......and it's not cool to shoot towards a neighbor's house:blushing:
Good find, Mrs. G.
