High-tech torture ray gun to be installed in county jail
Coming soon to a county jail near you....

"A high-tech ray gun built for the military that fires an invisible heat beam capable of causing unbearable pain will be tested on unruly inmates in the sheriff's detention facility in Castaic, officials said Friday at an unveiling event."

3. Apparently "cruel and unusual" and "unbearable pain" don't overlap.
Who'd have ever guessed?

8. You would think that "unbearable pain" would be
pretty much definitive for "cruel."

But, hey, I'm not a conservative judge, and I haven't been bought off with lots of money to believe whatever I'm told, so what do I know? x(
