Terrible person of record, Maine Governor Paul LePage, told radio station WVOM that he would like to publicly execute drug dealers for whom longer prison sentences just aren't harsh enough.
“I think the death penalty should be appropriate for people who kill Mainers,” LePage said. “We should give them an injection of the stuff they sell.” [...]
“What we ought to do is bring the guillotine back,” he said, interrupting the hosts. “We could have public executions and we could even have which hole it falls in.”
As I'm sure you recall, it was just a few weeks ago when Governor LePage went on a tirade about drug dealers named 'D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty' who travel to Maine from New York where they 'impregnate young white girls.'
“These are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty – these types of guys – they come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home,” LePage told a large crowd. “Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing because then we have another issue we have to deal with down the road.”
Taken together, we can infer that LePage's lust for public execution of drug traffickers is directly related to his malice for the fictional characters D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty.
No word yet on whether David Duke approves of LePage's latest thoughts.
