Never heard of him

Wow. Maybe we're going to need a Fleaswatter rule next year? The whole list looks like death row inmates. Lol.....

Yes, you are correct, they are all inmates who are scheduled to be executed this year. SOOPOO was partially correct in an earlier post where he indicated that I was using an “AP” move. Yes I am using an “AP’ move, but not the one he described. And yes BBB, I agree that a rule prohibiting the selection of death row inmates should be included next year.

I'm glad I didn't take FS up on his offer to wager! I hadn't thought of that angle! Well done, FS!

Thank you! I was getting a little concerned since 2 of my picks that were scheduled to be executed earlier this month had their executions stayed.



Believe it or not, I do have a dilemma concerning my picks. While many here are gamblers and always seem be looking for that “AP” move, I do feel that my picks are not in the “spirit” of the contest.
Therefore, I request that my picks be withdrawn from the 2019 death pool. If by some chance another participant’s picks would have beaten mine, and they are in the pool, I will pay the $20.

Dominique Ray 42, executed in Alabama (on Fleaswatter's list) Feb 8. Denied his Imam despite a state rule allowing him to have a member of the clergy with him. SCOTUS made a blundering decision based on it being too late for him to file about it, despite him not knowing it until a few days before his execution. Alabama was only offering Christian clergy.

What's the difference, the pope and
Islam have signed an agreement that
their gods are one and the same.

The god that told the Vatican to burn
witches at the stake is the same god
that tells a teen boy in Palestine to
strap on a vest and blow up a bus.
Makes sense to me.

Did his death make the AP feed? I didn’t see the story on the AP homepage.
