Now That It's MY Turn...

A death row inmate scheduled for execution says he's too fat to be put to death, claiming executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that his weight could diminish the effectiveness of one of the lethal injection drugs.
Aw, poor baby.

Read what he did: He participated in trapping, raping, torturing, mutilating and brutally murdering two beautiful young girls who were working hard to make something of their lives. And at the time, when confronted by the family, he proclaimed "I believe in the death penalty and an eye for an eye." Guess that was just a "Please don't throw me in d'at briar patch" ploy.

I've always had mixed feelings about the death penalty. Certainly no one wants to see an innocent ever be put down, and I have very strong concerns about giving the state such power. What I come down to is what I would do to this worthless demon if he'd tortured and killed one of mine and I was able to get him in my power. Lethal injection would be an act of supreme mercy.

We all have the beast inside--some of us just control it better than others. I pray I will never choose to unleash mine.

I think a lead injection to the head would probably work just fine.

Well if he thinks it would be too hard to kill him by lethal injection that his alternative should be to hang. With today's technology we could easily hoist him up with a crane and use strong nylon rope like what mountain climbers use, that would surely hold this guys weight, at least until he was dead. Hmmm I think I'll become a judge just to deal with guys like this POS.

And great blog you have here. I enjoy it.

Tie him in an X position to a bedframe and deliver him to the relatives. They'll know what to do.
Or leave him in Solitary with only a source of water and a carving knife, no food, ever. He'll be thin enough one way or another after a month or two.
One finger can provide enough protein for a day's survival. For the average person. This guy has billions of fat cells screaming for nourishment. He WILL learn some empathy for those girls.

How's about a last meal of steak,eggs, and JUICE! About 125 volts at .3 amps for oh, say 2 days. III

No government is honorable or honest enough to be trusted with the power over life and death. The only just "death penalty" is carried out at the scene and time of the attack by the intended victim or a rescuer.

I agree with Kent. I support the death penalty per se. Heck, I even support torture per se. I just can't give the government that authority

Victimhood is personal. Payback should be too. It's not the province of government, but neither should government interfere. It should be reserved for evil arrogant bastards like this who freely confess and are PROUD of what they did, and the victim -- if he/she survived -- or a designated representative should be able to take a whack.
China tortures Falun Gong meditation practitioners and sells their organs, but it gives murderers a clean beheading, regardless of whether they kill one or 20. Aren't we better than China?
Oh, the Greyhound knifeman in Canada was apparently hoping for suicide-by-cop. He has been reported to be asking "Please kill me."

There's a video on LiveLeak of a robbery. The robber shoots the convenience store clerk in the arm even though she's cooperating. Then he shoots her in the head, and she's dead. That part is edited out so the video can be posted and used to catch the bastard. Her screams after she's shot in the upper arm (the wound can be plainly seen) are pathetic and unforgettable.
When they do catch this demon, creative people should be called in. People who know about nerve endings.
Sure, it won't be a deterrent, but Mr. Moneymad won't have the use of his arms to kill more people ever again.
I don't understand how our opponents can watch a casual killing and blame the gun. It must involve brain tumors or something. Their absolute hatred of weapons leaves criminals assured that because of company policy or personal mistaken beliefs, THEY are highly unlikely to be the ones dead on the dirty floor.
