13 is nothing. In TX we execute almost a hundred a year!

I thought that sounded high so I checked. The State of Texas has executed 570 people since 1982. The biggest year was y2k, 40 people were put to death.

Well, GWBush was governor over 240 ppl executed, and 2 years were a moratorium from it, so I thought the number was higher. My mistake.

Edit* just googled it: King Richard Perry executed 279! Holy fuckballs
