| Wow! Guy can learn "Asian" crowd control techniques. You know, run the inmates over with tanks. I wonder how many of them will end up as deputies? (JK!!) |
| Hmmmm, does this mean Guy wil be using Grant Money to buy tanks now? |
| “This new partnership highlights the sheriff’s office not only as a national model, but also an international model of penal reform and professionalism,” Sheriff Guy W. Glodis said this week. |
| China has the death penalty for 68 crimes including murder, drug trafficking, rape, re-selling VAT receipts, pimping, habitual theft, stealing or dealing in national treasures or cultural relics, publishing pornography, selling counterfeit money, economic offences such as graft, speculation and profiteering and even killing a panda. During the "Strike hard" campaign against crime in China during the Spring of 2001, Amnesty International recorded a staggering 1,781 executions. This figure is greater than the total number of executions carried out in the rest of the world put together. China does not publish statistics about the death penalty - these are a state secret. Executions are often carried out immediately after a public sentencing rally and the criminal's family is made to pay for the bullet. The prisoner's arms are shackled behind them and they are made to kneel down before receiving a single bullet fired at close range into the back of the head or neck by a soldier or policeman or by a bullet fired into the heart from behind using an automatic rifle. Chinese laws do not specifically state the site of execution grounds and shootings are carried out at military target ranges and along river banks and on remote hill sides, the prisoners being transported in open lorries from the sports stadiums where they were sentenced. Condemned criminals are not executed inside prisons because it is regarded as inhumane for other inmates to hear the sound of gunfire. In a typical mass public execution in December 1995, 13 men and women convicted of murder and highway robbery were shot after the Court dismissed their appeals. Chinese television showed the 9 men and 4 women being paraded at a sports stadium in front of a crowd of more than 10,000 before being taken to the execution ground on a nearby hillside. Frequently the kidneys, hearts and corneas are removed from the dead prisoners and used in transplants at local hospitals. "Execution is one of the indispensable means of education," China's paramount leader, Deng Xiaoping, once said. During 1997, China began experimenting with lethal injection and this has replaced shooting in some provinces and tends also to be used on high ranking prisoners. |
| The sheriff’s trip was paid for through his campaign account. |
| I'd be pissed if I donated money to help him win an election and he took a trip to the far east with it. What sense does it make to travel half way round the world to learn something that is taught in your own backyard. This is just pure bullshit. |
| So does he himself call the newspaper after he farts/leaves-a-penny/holds a door open/ or otherwise self-promoting publicity stunt...or does he have a special full time position for that within the Sheriff's Office? I can see some hack at a desk with a phone full of speed dials to the local newspapers....just waiting for Uncle Guy to walk in with a neato story about how awesome he and his crack team of superheroes are... |
| I cannot afford a trip to Disney World but our elected officials like our sheriffs and Governor can piss away our money for there benefit. |
| Think again, the Sheriff will probably want it for homeland security! |
| Does he have enough money in his budget to transport the Massachusetts to the Wachusett and paint the hull "Worcester County Sheriff".... |
| Does he have enough money in his budget to transport the Massachusetts to the Quabbin and paint the hull "Worcester County Sheriff".... or is he expanding his jurisdiction to encompass FAWL RIVIR now??? |
