They use the Judge Dredd robot in texas, it automatically acts as judge, jury and executioner in one small package - all in less time than it takes to surrender.

Yeah, was not a fan. Not saying he didn't deserve to die, just not that way. He was trapped, they could have tased him, gassed him, shot him with tranqs, etc. and captured him alive for trial. The whole exploding robot thing smacked of vengeance.

RIP RedEye9. We miss you.
