@MattS: No, no implications intended. Just that these guys need to be burned at the stake as a suitable punishment. Drawing-and-quartering is way too messy for observers.

After, you mix the ashes with salt and / or holy water to prevent healing / re-growth / resurrection.

Also, if your ‘burning at the stake’ comment was to try and invoke a witch hunt you should know that burning at the stake was for heretics, witches were hung. Some confusion between the two comes from the fact that certain high profile historical figures that were burned at the stake were either accused of both or accused of witchcraft, but convicted of heresy.

@MattS: I’m unclear where the ‘burning at the stake’ part comes in… is that before or after the salt/holy water?

“salting of the ground to follow”

Holy Water would be more effective.

“Wisconsin lawmakers are calling for a thorough review into the activities of the state Government Accountability Board” — Who needs a review? Start demolition today, salting of the ground to follow.
