We Talk Friday
(WTF)
This is a semi-regular series that I will run on Fridays to hold discussions on a current topic from the week gone. The aim is to keep them light and conversational, though some might be heavier - regardless of the content topic itself though, just have some fun engaging and discussing with whoever happens to put in the effort in the comments section below.
We Talk Friday Ep. 73:
1. How hard is it?
I don't get it. Every day in the US around 133 people suicide and there are about 60 murders each day also. Yet, it seems nearly impossible to kill someone with a "lethal" injection. Christa Pike would have had the dubious honour of being the first woman put to death in Tennessee for 200 years, but they botched the procedure and she not only lived, her condition might be too bad to put her to death again. Like what?
Around 190 overdose deaths in the US every day.
Now, rather than using past the use by date pentobarbital as the lethal injection, why not just use a healthy dose of fentanyl instead? It is pretty effective as people die with just a small amount laced into other drugs and I am sure it is cheaper to buy and can be bought on many street corners.
Problem solved.
Note: I am not a death penalty supporter.

2. Putin huylo, Oi Oi Oi
Finland played Belarus in a "controversial" football game in Helsinki, due to Belarusian support for the Kremlin and its war in Ukraine. Ukraine's ambassador wanted the game cancelled or shifted, but then we would have missed out on scenes like this tifo from the fans:
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko as a cockroach.
The crowd was also chanting "Putin huylo!" throughout the match which is Russian for,
Putin is a dick!
I am not a fan of politics in sport at all, especially when the sportspeople punished are coming from autocratic and violent regimes. Even if they wanted to, they can't speak out against the regime out of fear for themselves and families, but if they don't they are treated as supporters. That is bullshit.
The game ended 0-0
But 100% - Putin is a dick.

3. We got them
"We had them under view for a long time, and we got them."
This is what Trump said about the people who were captured in the UK near an airport and he also claimed that they were planning to do "big damage" - he does have a pretty impressive vocabulary. Apparently, the US and UK had been working closely together which led to the arrests.
However....
The call to emergency was from a local woman on her way back to her farm and police arrested them about 25 minutes later. So if they were being watched by the US and UK anti-terror units and the like, where were the agencies? Perhaps they were hoping the attack would go through and they could drum up some more war support.
However, all they had in the back was some petrol apparently, with "no viable explosive devices" at all. And then, due to the lack of whatever was necessary to hold them, they had all been released oon bail the next day, which means they aren't seen as a threat to the public.
More political nonsense, by the looks.
