Not to bother the OP, but history shows differently. Public executions were civic events; hell, people brought their kids to the gallows.
You’d have a hell of a lot more people against the death penalty if they weren’t allowed to hide it from view and claim it’s humane, which it never is.

Kirk, have you checked the Defensive plug wires, because I'm sensing a misfire.
Blown plug wire

MEMO TO SELF: Since this keeps happening, perhaps you should transfer your cache of spare plug wires from the garage to the truck.
A Fair Queen plug wire. The plug side jacket has exploded, leading to an unshielded connexon at the number five jug, less than an inch from the exhaust manifold, leading to terrible spark misfires and badly fouled plugs.

And, uh, one duck to rule them all.

I look forward to seeing whoever at Homeland Security posted the meme and issued this statement at the defendant's dock as we send them to prison.
When asked about the Wyoming attack, DHS said the agency will not speculate on motives, adding, "Any attempt to blame DHS for an unrelated attack is RECKLESS and FALSE."

Chuck Gray is a coward and a jackass. 
Even by he most generous standard, the vast majority of Wyoming voters reject his shallow positions and want someone else to represent them. 
Chuck Gray is relying on voter ignorance to propel him to Washington, and that is why he won’t debate! Every time Chuck is forced to perform in front of the people he claims to want to represent, he looks even more like a jackass. 
Less than a quarter of the vote does not give this little wimp a pass to avoid the people’s scrutiny!

I've got a couple I've dropped that have been repurposed as Spotify head units in the garage and barn (gotta have tunes to work, it's in my contract) and the battery tending is welcome. I had An Incident about a year ago that blew up my phone.
Said phone. The battery blew the screen off and its internal components are visible.

Screenshot of Dave's vid, he's standing in a library in front of the MAGAZINES rack. His head obscures most of the MAGAZINES banner, so it reads MAGA

Chris Johnson to you at 1722
"I am not a resident of Johnson County. However, I get angry every time I see  news reports on TV showing the Board in session. You are being so disrespectful to your constituents and the rest of the Board members when you sit at a meeting wearing your cowboy hat.  It's pulled down so far you can't see your face, only hear what you're saying. Do you wear it at the dinner table, too?" 
Me to Chris Johnson at 1842
"I do."

I'm weird and unrepresentative. My daily driver for the past four years is this '71 with a three on the tree and the hydromatric crowd would need explosives to pry her from me.

It's dark now. There's a glow from the engine bay, lighting the grass below and throwing erie green and ghostly white on the bottom of the hood. A passing car's taillights blur in the background.
