Scratching to Escape: Forty Five Reprobates

In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Forty Five Reprobates

I was reading a news report where 45 people were arrested for participating in dog fighting. All were given a $5000 fine, and if convicted, face up to a year in jail, and a $4000 fine. I don't think that quite sends the message. My penalty would be placing all in a large cage, giving each one a knife, placing one key on the floor for unlocking the door, and telling them the one that escapes with the key is the only one to survive. When the last one finally leaves the cage, shoot them. I know that sounds harsh, but dog fighting is one of the most cruel of all "sports" created by humans. Those involved shouldn't be in society.
