Death with dignity: Berget finally allowed to die


A state-ordered lethal injection isn't criminal justice; it's suicide by cop.
Attorney General Marty Jackley announced today that the warrant of execution for Rodney Scott Berget has been issued by Second Circuit Court Judge Bradley Zell. Berget is scheduled to be executed between the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m., during the week of October 28 - November 3, 2018, inclusive, at a specific time and date to be selected by the Warden of the State Penitentiary.

South Dakota enjoys killing and has built an economy around death.

Bob Gruss is AG Marty Jackley's fellow member of the Church of the Holy Roman Kiddie Diddlers. He recently wrote an essay on capital punishment in the Rapid City Journal.
The death penalty is always an inhumane and inappropriate punishment. I pray that South Dakota joins the many other states that respect the dignity of life by ending the death penalty — in particular for those with severe mental illnesses. [Gruss]
How is the price of putting people to death either conservative or sustainable? The litigation costs of trying a capital crime persuaded Nebraska to rethink state-sponsored killing.

Pope Frank, the head of the Roman church just released the sect's revulsion of capital punishment putting Jackley's soul at risk to eternal damnation but $20 says Marty would just love to dispatch a handcuffed Rod Berget with a shotgun blast to the abdomen just like someone did for Rich Benda.

It's the view of The Dakota Progressive that those convicted of any felony requiring incarceration should be able to ask for a death with dignity rather than living a life of Hell in the South Dakota State Penitentiary or in a Colorado Supermax.
