Government officials in Texas announced their state will pay homage to the iconic film “The Green Mile” on the 25th anniversary of its release by executing 25 completely innocent people.

      lol well don’t beat yourself up about it, that’s understandable, and to be fair, it’s a great movie but I wouldn’t expect politicians in Texas to understand the message.

      The men on the Green Mile were forced to carry out the execution of John Coffey (like the drink but not spelled the same) despite knowing he was probably innocent and might’ve genuinely been what religious people would call a vessel of God.

      It’s a tragic story but one of Stephen King’s best because it does a great job of highlighting the hypocrisy of modern Christians. If Jesus came back tomorrow, they’d find a reason to persecute and execute him again.

            No, it’s okay. Low-hanging joke.

            I need to watch the whole thing someday. Only saw parts of it way back when the only way to watch a movie was to catch it on cable.

    All at the same time, a synchronized execution!, at a packed and roaring Great American Ballpark, or whatever it is they have in that fundamentalist, god-forsaken place, russia with Stetsons and deep-fried butter sticks.
