Back in 2012, couple Adam and Jennifer Perry were speeding down an Illinois highway to reach a hearing specialist based in Salt Lake City, Utah who was supposed to treat an ear infection afflicting Adam. Their high speed drew the attention of state troopers, who pulled the couple over.

Once I saw “Illinois,” I didn’t need an explanation.

We need to start executing every one that needs it, and we could get police forces down to about 6 cops.Any one that uses any kind of weapon to rob or kill. Any one that does a crime, where a person could be killed. Old west justice, the same week, we know they did the deed.Should be less than 10 days for most.
