‘I feel my whole body burning,’ says Oklahoma death row inmate during execution Published January 10, 2014 Associated Press

A man has been executed by lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary almost 20 years after orchestrating the brutal assault and robbery of his co-worker at a Tulsa convenience store.

Michael Lee Wilson, 38, was convicted in the killing of Richard Yost, 30, who aspired to one day manage the Quiktrip store. Wilson, who was convicted of first-degree murder, was the third person executed for the February 25, 1995, crime; the fourth defendant is serving a life term.

How thoughtful of Oklahoma to prep this piece of crap for his destination! Just getting him used to the climate!

Yup. Sensible baseball bat laws are necessary.

[who knows what evil?]

On the bright side; he’s not suffering the effects of the ‘Polar Vortex’ that has been gripping the nation.

"Maybe he’s feeling the flames of hell?"

I think this is a possibililty every man, woman and child should consider quite seriously. Reading those last words really jolted my attention.

“It really gets me how many on here believe there is actually an eternal burning in physical hell fire.”

Jesus talked about Hell. It is real. Don’t go there.

Theres not?

[bramps]

How the HELL do you know?

[cincinnati65]

I always thought the most just way of executing murderers is to make them endure what they put their victim through, and if the victim’s family is willing to participate, all the better.

I don't think that Wilson is smiling now.

[Buckeye McFrog]

THIS is why we need a mental health check before anyone can buy an aluminum bat.

That might have kept Jose Canseco out of baseball and averted the whole steroid era.

[halo66]

Please do tell how you know for a fact there is no physical hell fire???

[dinoparty]

I’d be interested in hearing your perspective. Skeptical of Scripture generally? Or a believer who doesn’t think God is “mean” enough to allow this? Or do you believe that references to Hell are not meant literally but as sybolic representations of a deeper Truth? Or something else?

"... they struck Yost with an aluminum baseball bat 54 times in 131 seconds."

I suspect the reason he felt his "whole body burning" wasn't because of the execution but of the things to come.

[SkyDancer]

Far be it for me to contradict what the OT and NT talked about it.

[ZULU]

That’s what he was feeling AFTER he died. Mutant.

[BenLurkin]

He should have fried 20 years ago.

[12th_Monkey]

I’m so sorry! NOT!!!!

[fungoking]

In high school English they called that foreshadowing.

It really gets me how many on here believe there is actually an eternal burning in physical hell fire.

What gets you about that idea? It's certainly logical and Biblical. People don't want water in hell because it feels balmy. (see the story of Lazarus and the rich man)
