But at the same time they are bragging that EC road deaths have "plummeted"... was this a case of keep deaths off the roads, kill then at home?

and yet in a lot of other countries they also have alcohol and not nearly as high a murder number.

Austin, Texas murders for the entire year of 2008 = 23

It's not politically correct to blame the people, need to use something else as the cause.

Kills? For no reason at all? Oh, wait, you're probably against death penalty.

Did I state anywhere that I am for / against the death penalty?(I am actually undecided on the matter)
So what do you call it when someone is executed?

Not shot/stabbed for the purpose of robbery or during the commision of a crime

I will repeat my question:
What do you call it when someone is executed BY THE GOVERNMENT?

Executed by the State of Texas (Where capital punishment is legal), is what happens to a CRIMINAL that has been CONVICTED of a CAPITAL CRIME. Unlike a guy that shoots you and steals your car.
