Whatever happened to that guy, anyway?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A condemned Ohio inmate who weighs at least 480 pounds wants his upcoming execution delayed, saying his weight could lead to a "torturous and lingering death."
Ronald Post, who shot and killed a hotel clerk in northern Ohio almost 30 years ago, said his weight, vein access, scar tissue and other medical problems raise the likelihood his executioners would encounter severe problems. He's also so big that the execution gurney might not hold him, lawyers for Post said in federal court papers filed Friday.
"Indeed, given his unique physical and medical condition there is a substantial risk that any attempt to execute him will result in serious physical and psychological pain to him, as well as an execution involving a torturous and lingering death," the filing said.
Post, 53, is scheduled to die Jan. 16 for the 1983 shooting death of Helen Vantz in Elyria.

;-) Just thought I would try to stir things up.
Not a problem. That’s why we have intraosseous needles.
Put him on the M. Obama diet and he will beg for his execution.
Just kill him and be done with this trash.
Stick a fork in him...
Whatever happened to that guy, anyway?
If the slug’s arm is so fat as to make access to the proper blood vessels impractical, chop the arm off at the elbow, and insert the IV tube into the exposed vessel in the stump. If he dies from blood loss or shock first, what’s the difference — the whole idea is to end his existence, anyway...
Oregon Department of Transportation has some experience disposing of large bodies using explosives ...
lay that tub of guts on the floor, put in a central line and pump his fat azz full of battery acid if they have to...
I highlighted your entire post, and couldn't find a "</SARCASM >" anywhere in it. Are you some sort of whining, anti-CP libweenie?
I really think we should send his ass to Libya or Egypt and use him as a movie screen to show "Innocence of Muslims." Let the camel humping miscreants take care of him.
A good old fashioned hanging would be better for him then. His weight will be an advantage and he will suffer less.
He looks like one evil monster.
Yeah, the tourists are still traumatized. LOL.
What a load of nonsense.
.50 BMG API will work just fine.
On second thought, before you play Moon Pie Frisbee with him, try offering him a wafer-thin mint and see if that works.
Considering the posers and trolls who have signed on this year, it is a wise practice for newbies until they have built up substantial conservative cred.
This is a political forum, not a playground for smart@$$ noobs.
I have a nearly 12 year posting history, and I'm not too proud to do it... (But I sometimes use the method I did in #50 in case I'm called on it...)
Tell ya what. i will run everything by you first.
Not appropriate. I was just offering a bit of FRiendly advice — certainly preferable to a visit by the Viking Kitties...
This happened to William Wallace, whom our younger generation may only know as Mel Gibson in Braveheart, but he was an actual person back in the 1300’s. Except that what happened to William Wallace was sanitized in the movie.
When he was captured, William Wallace was dragged through the streets of London by the tails of two horses during a summer's day. Since this was before the times of sewers, everyone just dumped their waste into the street. I'm sure that was a pleasant experience.
He was hung and drawn at the same time. Drawing was tying his ankles to horses and moving the horses away, putting extreme tension on his neck. He was monitored and cut down before he was dead.
When he finally was on the executioner's table, his penis and testicles were cut off to provide maximum humiliation without killing him. He was then disemboweled and his intestines burnt before him, he could watch because he was still alive.
Finally he would have had his still beating heart removed from his chest. Afterward he would be quartered by pulling his body apart using horses and ropes and his various parts, including his head, placed around the City of London as a warning,
#4 a variation that was popular in mob circles was to kill and bury a squealer underneath a chicken coop. Firstly because no one would look there, it's way too messy. Secondly so that chickens could shit on said squealer for quite some time, and thirdly the chemicals in chicken shit would accelerate decomposition and would cover the smell of said decomposition.
How about if we don’t feed him for a year or two?
Thats what we should have been doing anyway. We’re feeding him so well that now he can use it as an excuse....
