Fire in the hole!

[Gay State Conservative]

Betcha dollars to donuts that it doesn't happen tonight.He's got the "cruel and unusual" thing as well as the IQ thing working for him.

Let him watch "The Green Mile" during dinner.

I would try to be hung, so they could at least make use of the organs.

Small token, but SOMETHING to make up for what one did in life.

A convicted killer who chose the electric chair because he was apparently unnerved by the prospect of lethal injection awaited execution Thursday.

Fine...This will be your executioner.....

"Wet the sponge? I must have forgot."

I did a search and came up with his picture as well as the woman he murdered.

Here's that inbred's actual first-class seat to a molten pit in Hell:

[NormsRevenge]

He has the mental capacity of a peson with a low IQ, borderline retarded at best , severely at worst per the article.

I am not so sure it mattered to the victim much tho.

Thanks for the images. It helps bring it home, so to speak.

[oceanview]

this will be stayed, the courts will not allow the electric chair to be used.

[Slings and Arrows]

Regular or Extra-Crispy?

Nitrogen asphyxiation - cheaper, non toxic, no mess, no clean up, pain less.

Simply strap them down, put on the plastic breathing mask, hook up the Nitrogen flow. Then wait 5 min, test for brain wave activity. If activity, wait another 5 min and check again. Repeat until no brain activity. Once no brain activity, zip up the body bag and ship out.

In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional to execute the retarded. In Virginia, those who score 70 or below on an IQ test before they turn 18 generally are considered retarded.

... or members of the democ-rat party.

It's strange for me to see someone my age being put to death. Makes me wonder what happend to some of the guys I went to high school with.

"How long you spend p***in' on the toilet seat, 'fore someone told you to put it up?" /Green Mile

p.s. ROLL ON TWO!

[Alouette]

Betcha dollars to donuts that it doesn't happen tonight.

The execution will go on, this is a white guy convicted of murdering a black woman.

[bobjam]

The SCOTUS recently ruled that the electric chair does not consititute cruel and unusual punishment.

[CindyDawg]

I think we have a sick one scheduled today in Texas, also.
