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 on Friday.

If he weighs too much to execute, try taking 20 pounds off the top, and see if that solves the problem.
Pass the fried chicken Mable. . . . . .
Fine. Put him on 1200 calories a day until he’s light enough. . .
Hanging should be quick at his size.
Where’s Dr. Kevorkian when you need him?
How is it that a death row inmate can be allowed to consume such an amount of food....am I missing something?
What I don’t understand is; why we can’t just drain them. Put in a needle or two and run their blood into a drain. No drugs or electricity. Cheap and humane.
Nitrogen asphyxiation is painless and safe for bystanders.
Kill this piece of human dung in exactly the same manner that he killed his victim. He deserves nothing less and I am sure HE DID NOT KILL HIS VICTIM HUMANELY.
Doesn’t make sense does it? We have school kids limited to 850 calories but this fat sob can eat all he wants. Bring in the pallet and fork lift or lay him out on the floor. He has been sucking wind for to long already.
Ronnie Post’s last meal: a can of Slimfast and a fiber bar.
Or Death By Chocolate
After reading your post a tune comes to mind:
“Pop goes the Weasel”(’s) head from his body
And then hang his lawyers right along with him for wasting taxpayer dollars on such tripe.
.30-06.
Or since he’s ‘big’ game, maybe a .375 H&H. Yeah, I’m old skool.
Time to get this one off of the feedlot. He probably gained 200 pounds in 30 years of taxpayer-funded overfeeding.
If he’s too fat to inject, and too greasy to fry, send him to Utah and sit him down in front of a firing squad.
“If he’s too fat to inject, and too greasy to fry, send him to Utah and sit him down in front of a firing squad.”
Build an air-tight capsule around him, feed him all he can eat and let him ass-fix-e-ate himself in the very first gas chamber of its kind...and then bury him in it.
I guess Michelle Obama’s next crusade will be prison food.
The blood should go to any needy blood bank. Any reusable parts should be taken as well. It's called "giving back".
