When a convcted felon is going to die by execution and all he wants is a good last meal, the only humane thing to do is to give the guy scheduled to die best damned meal possible. I’m not into clemency by dirtbag politicians , I’m not a soft-sellinf for forgiveness. However, when a human being/perp is sentenced to die we should carry it out quickly.

It’s got a long tradition. In many ways giving the condemned a last meal is symbolic of how it is nothing personal. It is only the carrying out of the law. And by accepting the meal, the one soon to be executed is accepting his or her fate and relinquishing any blame on the judicial process.
