It was a polite way of saying "dumb as a post" (which is impolite on many levels).Jeff Gamsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869425697771419546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945843206427351559.post-10835172089021108142010-07-12T16:36:52.886-04:002010-07-12T16:36:52.886-04:00Garner is what they used to call "slow."...<i>Garner is what they used to call "slow."</i><br /><br />Which would seem to indicate that given enough time Garner will come to the same conclusions about, say, moral conduct and civilization, as your or I would; he's described as <i>slow</i>, not stupid. <br /><br />I haven't met Garner nor read any of the copious reports by lettered professionals describing his mental capabilities or lack thereof, but I would venture to say that Garner isn't slow. Garner is stupid. If a 200 watt light bulb is bright, Garner is about 40 watts. Given a keeper and a short leash Garner could function in society. He could hold down a job doing unskilled or semi-skilled labor. That didn't happen in Garner's case.<br /><br />On the question of Garner's execution, from what little I understand about Garner's case I would vote not to execute Garner. More to the point, I would say that the Ohio supreme court should hear the case or should have to publish a very solid reason why they won't. Refusing to hear the case without a supporting statement should not be allowed.<br /><br />What I'd really like to know is where Garner learned the skills that led to this crime, because given his intelligence I seriously doubt Garner would be creative enough to come up with this on his own.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.com
