Maricopa, Maricopa, Mari Maximum Copa!
Human beings are hard to comprehend; in terms of behavior anyway.
What we say and what we do are two different things; for sure!
First let us reminisce about one of our most important previous blogs:
http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/meanest-sombitch-america-8394
Some may need this prescient background for this latest news:
Two former employees in the Maricopa County Sheriff's office have posted bail after being charged with conspiring to smuggle heroin and launder money. Three in total are facing charges.
Former Deputy Sheriff Alfredo Navarette, who worked in the human smuggling unit, and two corrections officers, Sylvia Najera and Marcella Hernandez, were arrested in May in connection with an alleged multinational heroin ring, as part of a sting that resulted in 19 arrests.
According to investigators, wiretaps allegedly recorded Hernandez and Navarette discussing moving to a ranch in Mexico, owned by the ring's alleged leader Francisco Arce-Torres, who, according to the Arizona Republic "is accused of having ties to the Sinaloan cartel and who detectives believe fathered a child Hernandez gave birth to shortly after her arrest."
This looks like a pattern to me!
I mean if one chooses to become part of an evil conspiracy one might be tempted to stray into other conspiracies.
But what do I know?
This next news flash gave me quite another emotional reaction:
Five Amish men in Ohio were arrested this week for allegedly breaking into the homes of other Amish men and cutting off their hair and beards.
The men were charged with aggravated burglary and kidnapping, according to WKYC, related to allegations that they were responsible for a series of six break-in-and-hair-cutting incidents.
The men are from the Bergholz clan, a breakaway clan headed by bishop Sam Mullet, who is also the father of three of the five men. The Bergholz clan has around 120 people and is made up of eighteen families. Seventeen of those families are related to Mullet, WKYC reports.
According to the AP, Mullet became known for excommunicating members and generally being a harsh ruler of the clan, and has even been accused of running a cult. Authorities are trying to link all the incidents to him. Mullet has said he knew about the incidents, but denied that he orchestrated them.
The Amish as terrorist hair stylists; who'd a known?
But now we have pure evil arising from a nonconformist’s place.
Here's a piece of legislation you don't see every day. One Florida state Rep. is proposing a big change to the way his state handles executions. Brad Drake, a Republican, filed a bill Tuesday to eliminate lethal injection and bring back executions by electrocution or firing squad.
Under Drake's bill, electrocution would be the primary mode of execution, but inmates could request a firing squad.
According to the Florida Current, the idea came to him in a local Waffle House.
"There shouldn't be anything controversial about a .45-caliber bullet.
Yeaaaaamen, yeaamen, yeaaaamen yeaamen yeaaamen

The waffle house is where our esteemed Drake came upon his epiphany!
You may find evil at the office of the most inhumane sheriff of all time to learn your trade!
You may find evil while residing in one of the most pacifist religious sects of all time.
You may even find evil at a local waffle house.
I guess this is all part of the human condition!

The Waffle House is a great place to study the essence of the English language, the iambic, that thing that Obama, for example, doesn't do very well.
I'd stop there in my remake as a trucker, cause in spite or roaches and dirty rest rooms the eggs was good. To keep myself sane I used to write down stuff.
"Pick up the choc-late milk and waffle plate."
"You want a splash of coffee, hon?, it's hot"
Perfect iambic pentameter spoken by the people.
Now I can envision a couple of new ones.
"If it was me I'd burn their ass instead"
"If that don't work I'd make em eat some lead"

Well there is bright and happy breakfast talk...and then again there is dark and dismal breakfast talk. hahaha
Might depend upon the degree of the hangover!

Thank you for that tidbit!
Our citizen on the street tidbit!

Execution inspiration at the local Waffle House. Yeah, who'd a thunk fer sure, Mr. Day. Profound legislative thoughts like that are usually thunked up while sitting on toilets, are they not?

In one of those links there is the story of the condemned actually catching fire in the electric chairs--one reason they went by the wayside.
It is just that once again we have a legislator who is ignorant of Supreme Court decisions (conservative and liberal), ignorant of our nation's place in the world and ignorant of his own 'Christian principles'.
And if he gets shot down he can blame it all on the Waffle House. hahahaha
