Ron on the Death Penalty

Statistically, the death penalty is severely discriminatory against minorities and the feeble-minded. Ron is OK with this. His New Jersey upbringing has hardened his skin to bleeding-heart issues such as this. Fact: It costs more to pursue a capital case toward execution than it does to have full life imprisonment without parole. Ron wants to change this. His initiative "Send the Juice" implements ways to cut the time between a capital conviction and the subsequent execution. By bypassing the wasteful appeals process and any sort of humanitarian prison conditions, Ron feels that the prisoner will just "give up all hope" and beg to be put out of his misery. In this way, Send the Juice would cut down on death row overcrowding, wasteful appeals, and overall prison and administrative costs. "When [Illinois] Governor Ryan declared a moratorium to determine how many capital defendants have been adequately represented by competent lawyers and to review the whole capital legal process, I could have puked!" Ron told a group of retired former Dallas Cowboys. "They did it!" he exclaimed. "They know they did it! They should fry!" As for means of execution, Ron is open to just about any tried-and-true method from the world's long history of killing its criminals.
