Yes, in fact I was thinking of it when I wrote that!

Nowadays I think they just put the varmints into the big house. Big
White house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, that is.

I don't think they particularly cared if they got the right guy
either, as long as there was an example to keep the peons in line.

And that changed when?

Reminds me of my county prostituting attorney. He spoke out against
an "innocence project" that uses DNA evidence to prove the convict's
innocence. He wants the law changed so that innocence is no reason to
have your conviction overturned. His stated reason: "for the victim's
families". Yea, right, it really helps the victim's families when the
criminal that terrorized them remains free while some patsy sits in jail.
I think the real reason is this asshole would rather have an innocent
citizen in jail than face the embarrassment of public knowledge that
he got the wrong guy.

"Hang 'em High" was good, but the "The Ox-Bow Incident" had me wringing out my handkerchief.
But it was made a generation earlier.

After 21 years of living in the same Takoma Park
bungalow, I regret to report that I have experienced
my first burglary -- a burglary that targeted just
one item: the Panasonic Pro-Touring road bicycle that

was it locked? i know 10 people that had bikes stolen from gargages &
such for every one stolen in use (typ bike rack).
from an old gardening magazine to secure power tools: embed a length
of chain in a bucket of concrete. i figure the ubiquitous five gallon
bucket (19-l) w/ concrete will weight about 100-lbs (45-kgm).

Sort of like Guantanamo Bay under
the Talibush, I would imagine ...

Heh, heh, heh. :^)
