I’d love to know how he came to that conclusion. He’s a dead monster now, there’s that.
After reading the link all I can say is that they deserve their punishment.
Yeah, right Pal. “You’re not a monster”. Whatever.
We’ll talk about it later, we’ll dissect all the semantics you want when/if we meet on the other side.
Right now, Vaya Con Dios!
Yes, because I for one would not do so. But that's God's call, not mine.
He had to know the appeals had gone to the US Supreme court and been rejected, and that the Governor was fighting to execute him and he wasn’t getting that last minute phone call.
I cannot begin to fathom what he did, and who knows if he’s truly sorry, or just sorry he’s about to be executed.
But it’s right to apologize and try to give that victim whatever small comfort it can do for her. Its pretty obvious that saying something cruel or indifferent would be wrong.
And a quick glance across the old west shows that almost all the bad guys faced the noose with a fair amount of class. It was considered important to not be seen a coward, and to face the music. More than a few gave lectures about sin, or for others to learn from them. At the very least they were expected to “die game”.
Apologizing might not have meant much, but it was probably the least bad thing he could have done at that moment.
If these subhumans were put to death more often instead of being given decades to clog the courts with idiotic appeals, there would be less mindless slaughter of innocent lives. There must be severe consequences for hideous crimes. Good riddance.
Define “monster.”
“I’m not a monster” — Yes you were.
The victims families should file civil suits against all the judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers involved in these cases for denial of 6th amendment rights.
Wish they used the electric chair. Then, as in the Academy Awards shows, when the speeches go overtime, they start to play the “wrap it up music”. Except the tune played at the prison would be 20,000 volts through the skull.
“...and I just want to say to all the people out there who think I’m a monster that ZZZZZZAAAAPPPPPP!!!!!!”
Unbelievable...how nice of the one guy to “forgive his executioners.” What a champ.
And the other one...leaving a seemingly-dead 11-year-old tied to a chair in a closet, after murdering her mother??? But hey, he has since studied physics and become Buddhist, so....there’s that. Why, he practically could have been a father figure to the girl.
Well, these two gents have slipped the surly ol’ bonds of earth by now. Wonder what they’ve found?
Two items:
#1.Prisoner Williams is said to have weighed over 400lbs!
#2. Both prisoners took last meals. Jones, the first executed had a very large meal with a full dessert.
My next remarks may not be written for you if you have a sensitive stomach, so you decide if you will keep reading or just stop right here. Either choice is yours and will be respected by me.
Still there? Okay. In my opinion, the last meal should be a very small one, if any meal is offered at all. One would expect a man with an empty stomach to be more likely to quickly succumb to any execution drugs compared to a man with a newly full stomach. N’est ce pas?
Also, as a matter of logic, why would you allow someone to stuff themselves when after the point of death, all this matter may be involuntarily released anyway, as in when someone is hung? One would think the labor unions for prison staff may have raised this issue before.
Monsters never think of themselves as monsters.
After all, they had “reasons” for whatever it is they were doing.
OK.
If he were a monster we probably have no law to execute him.
And this isn’t an electric chair so don’t worry.
Monsters rape and kill mothers in front of 11 year olds then decide twenty two years later that the victims needs to learn more about them.
He certainly was a monster 22 years ago. The decisions on whether he is still a monster or not is in better hands than ours. I would not bet much on him winning, but I’m still glad both that it’s not my job to decide and that he was (finally) sent to hear that decision.
They can’t even tell the truth on their death bed. Sad
