Firing Squad Or Hanging? AG Candidate Wants Death Penalty For Corrupt Lawmakers

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A Republican candidate for California attorney general said Friday that state lawmakers who are found guilty of crimes that endanger the lives of others should face the death penalty.

Phil Wyman, who spent 17 years in the state Legislature, said he was motivated by the case of Democratic Sen. Leland Yee. Yee faces federal charges that include an attempt to coordinate an international gun-running scheme from the Philippines.

Wyman also criticized Democratic Attorney General Kamala Harris for being "��silent as a mouse" on the corruption cases that have marred the state Senate this year. A campaign spokesman for Harris declined comment.

I think they should be prosecuted as current law allows, however, with no leniency because they are public figures sworn to uphold the law.

It would sure put a hole in the political scene!

they should be hung with live public viewing

People on death row are generally kept in solitary confinement.

I think corrupt lawmakers should be sentenced to 20 years and then put into the general population.

Let them know how "Bubba" their 300 pound roommate; being a former "constituent"; feels about how he was let down, (repeatedly), by his "representative".

Hey there was a very used but still fully operational French guillotine on eBay. Didn't sell, still available. Alex Jones mentioned something about a good deal.
