The moron actually thinks he's going to portray himself as some sort of law-and-order caricature for insisting everyone who kills someone else get the death penalty.
What should we think of someone who wants to gain a high political office on the executions of hundreds of mostly poor people?

[Former County Attorney] Rick Romley was bad enough (hey, flood the prisons with small-time drug and property offenders and make us an embarrassment to the world).
Sordid, squalid, sick.

Hey, Stapley's not totally innocent: Excellent reporting and, as usual, spot-on.
The latest Stapley arrest was a media event to detract from all the problems the MCSO is having that people are finally hearing about.
I don't feel bad for Stapley, however. I recall him sitting there smugly while others have been victimized by the MCSO and the County Attorney's Office. It's just his turn in the barrel. What goes around comes around.
I see this as a time when Stapley, the politician, is being beaten by two other politicians. I also see this as a gross misapplication of authority by the MCSO and the County Attorney.
But, hey, if MCSO says it's okay, then I guess it really is. We won't let normal application of law get in the way of payback, right, since the sheriff is mentally ill?

Here's hoping Thomas has sealed his fate: Arpaio and Thomas are absolutely insane. Did the "engagement" of these Washington attorneys violate a procurement code within Maricopa County? And who here is the sheriff trying to fool?
Why wouldn't these two attorneys take a no-cap-on-expenses, free trip to Arizona for the winter, when it will be snowing in Washington soon? Hotels, expenses, dining, drinking, billing RICO funds for their expenses.
Arpaio and Thomas (not to mention MCSO Chief Deputy David Hendershott) have gone over the top with the Stapley issue. Hendershott is no doubt diverting attention from his own misappropriations of RICO funds by way of the Honduras deal.
Thomas has sealed his fate in politics, I believe. He'll be lucky to represent drunk drivers when this is done.

Who the hell elected these losers?: Can somebody stop these criminals? This is crazy!
It is scary and disturbing to see that this type of abuse of power can happen in our country.
Almost as disturbing is the fact that our county and state are broke, and we are spending thousands and thousands of dollars to prosecute a county supervisor for possible errors and/or omissions in his paperwork.
Well, we elected these losers. Surely, this term marks the end of Sheriff Joe. The guy is such an egomaniac. Yet he's also a phenomenal politician. He knows what buttons to push to get elected — unfortunately.
