When asked about the death penalty, some are surprised to hear me say that I am against the electric chair. It is because we wait so long with so many on death row; I am for electric chairs until we catch up. Until then, all the murderers we have yet to execute should get their last meals buffet-style.

The State of Tennessee spent thirty-one years getting ready to execute Christa Pike and then, on the night it really mattered? An epic fail. Pike, 50, was supposed to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than two centuries. Talk about your DEI when it comes to our executions: ‘You’ve come a long way, baby!’

Pike murdered her classmate, Colleen Slemmer, in Knoxville in 1995. She’s been in the slammer since she murdered Slemmer; the courts had finished with her. The governor had declined to intervene. The U.S. Supreme Court had cleared the lane. All that remained was for the Department of Corrections to do one job, but it could not.

Thirty-one years of us paying $80k a year for her incarceration ($2.4 mil), and probably a like amount for her lawyers to appeal. Stupid.

Christa Pike’s........
