Bill would make penalty for fentanyl deaths first-degree murder in Iowa

You’d be woefully wrong. What punishment do you think fentanyl distributors should get?

I don't necessarily have a problem with the proposed bill, nuanced of course. But that wasn't what I responded to at all. Your little buddy is an angry little magat. On any topic any time always angry. Even when someone was clearly being sarcastic.

Fair enough! And to see we’re not actually that far from the same page.
 
I'm not sure how they can show premeditation if they unknowingly sold a product that contained Fent.

I'm not saying I support Fent, but this is a stretch by the legislature. Common law even states premeditation is a requirement for 1st degree murder.

But some idiot that doesn't know the law proposes it. If it passes, it will cause a cluster**** of court cases.

Strict liability for teenagers. Pardons for drug traffickers.
 
How old is your priest? The death penalty was abolished in Iowa 60 years ago in 1965.
If he was still alive? 125. He got one of his several degrees from the U of I. After witnessing the execution he gave a fiery sermon on the evils of capital punishment. He eventually left the priesthood and taught journalism at Kansas. He was considered the foremost authority on the English language...

John B. Bremner (December 28, 1920 – July 30, 1987) was an Australian-American journalist and a distinguished professor at the University of Kansas. A former priest, Bremner worked as an editor for Catholic publications and taught at the University of San Diego and the University of Iowa before beginning a 16-year stint at the University of Kansas.

Biography​

[edit]
Bremner was born in Brisbane. He studied at St. Columba's College in Springwood, Australia, at the University for the Propagation of the Faith in Rome, and All Hallows College in Dublin. Before he earned a graduate degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Bremner was an ordained Catholic priest.[1]

Before entering academia, Bremner worked as an editor at the Florida Catholic and as a columnist at The Tidings, a newspaper published by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.[1] Early in his academic career, he taught at the University of San Diego and the University of Iowa. In 1965, he completed a doctorate at Iowa.[2] Beginning in 1969, Bremner was a journalism professor at the University of Kansas.[3] Named the Oscar S. Stauffer Distinguished Professor of Journalism in 1977, he taught at Kansas until his December 1985 retirement.[3]

Standing 6'5" and carrying a reputation for a no-nonsense approach, Bremner was described by one of his colleagues as "a delightful terror to students."[3]

No problem. As a PhD student at Iowa, he bunked with our older local priest who liked his booze and was a chain smoker. He was a scratch golfer at 6'5 and 280, played in the pro-am and was on a game show while in California.( What's my Line, maybe?). `We shag golf balls for him for a dollar an hour. He left the priesthood, married and ended up teaching at Kansas U for years...
