Proud of Deaths

 AL.COM headline:

Steve Marshall is proud Alabama leads nation in executions: ‘This has been a team effort’

(story is HERE)

=====================================

Note: Alabama could be even more proud if we had FEWER executions because we had FEWER murders, no?

And aren't more executions supposed to result in the same thing? FEWER murders because we're punishing the crimes?

 Something's not working.

Not that Alabamians will care, but our increase goes against an increased lack of support for the death penalty:

"Public support for the death penalty is currently at 53% according to the Death Penalty Information Center. That mark is a 50-year low according to the organization’s report." (source: HERE.)
