Police sources say the newly formed drug task force in Franklin County began raids in the early morning hours Monday and continues their quest as we write this. One source outside the police department stated as many as 300 were scheduled to be arrested. If that number is even remotely close to the actual number of arrests, local jails will be filled to capacity. Perhaps some dealers will be charged under Federal statutes and taken to Huntsville. (The Franklin County Times reported 126 taken into custody by 9:00 a.m. Tuesday.)

In today's world of longevity, sociologists now describe the last era of human life as beginning at 70. This is a mark that Tommy Arthur recently passed, and we're now seeing him described as "a senior citizen" on death row. By all definitions, Arthur is indeed a senior citizen. Many predict he will die on death row before he is executed.
There's nothing humorous about Arthur's crime, yet there is something amusing in the fact that his supporters wish to spare his life because he is now a senior citizen. We have to ask why Arthur's case has aroused so much interest when such others as John Forrest Parker were executed with comparatively little fanfare.

( You forgot to use a question mark) I just love it when and illiterate dumbo like myself catches a grammatical mistake, LOL) Now back to business. It is a great question. He should have been executed. I have met him a couple of times as a teenager or young man. He is a mean person and I could see and sense the evil in him and see it in his eyes.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad they did "Operation Spring Clean up" in Russellville I just wished they would've arrested more of the illegals that are pushing drugs through Russellville.
