Apparently if you don't volunteer in some situations in America you can get a smack in the mouth.

Only in America.

I note that one of the witnesses considered execution to be "justice". Justice is a process not an outcome.

That is so vile. What sort of people want to watch someone die? I think some executions are televised too, it's horrible.

The other story about the plane passengers being turfed out of their seats ("volunteered"), is awful too.

There's a thread about the plane volunteering here.
