In other words, Texas uses fiction to decide who lives and who dies.

Anyone who can’t see whats wrong with that is a f***ing moron. No exceptions. No excuses. I don’t care about how your think or feel about capital punishment in general. If you can’t see whats wrong with using a fictional character to officially evaluate a real person, especially under circumstances where said person’s life hangs in the balance, then you are the one who is “mentally retarded.”
