Holy fuck... she's literally saying that your kids should starve because other kids are fat.
She probably meant - colored kids can starve because white kids are too fat.
It's such a weird hill to die on, too. We pay, what, 15k/kid per year of education? 120 bucks is too much, though.
They do this for so many things. The death penalty is far more expensive than life in prison, but they'd rather be cruel than save the money that they always say shouldn't be spent.
They just think the answer is to kill them faster to save money.
To be fair. It's not like the appeals system works when SCOTUS denied one on the basis that we have to respect the jury, even after literally everyone involved in the trial said there was exculpatory evidence missing from the trial.
So it doesn't matter how bad the trial was anymore. Any death sentence must stand under their reasoning.
SCOTUS, or at least Scalia, has also decided that innocence isn't a compelling reason to be spared execution.
We should never let these vermin get away with calling themselves "pro-life."
