A convicted cop killer who sued Alabama over its lethal injection method was put to death, but not before he cursed at the state and said: "I hate you."
As the procedure began Thursday night, Torrey Twane McNabb, 40, raised both of his middle fingers in a show of defiance. McNabb's attorneys had unsuccessfully sought to stop the execution since he was one of several inmates in an ongoing lawsuit challenging the humaneness of the state's lethal injection procedure.
McNabb was convicted of killing Montgomery police officer Anderson Gordon in 1997. He shot Gordon five times as the officer sat in his patrol car after arriving at a traffic accident McNabb caused while fleeing a bail bondsman, prosecutors said.
Gordon's relatives said in a statement that the 30-year-old officer — known as "Brother" — was devoted to his family, his two children and his work as a police officer.
"Over 20 years ago, we lost a companion, a father, a brother and friend who only wanted to make a difference in his community," the statement read. "Although, the wounds of having a family member murdered can never be healed, through this tragedy, the Gordon family has remained strong and will continue to be resilient." Powered by Boohle

It should be noted here that the police officer killed was also black.

A new martyr for the NFL crowd.
At least this story has a happy ending
Just think of all the taxpayer money that the courthouse crowd got in those 20 years.
Why, that was a huge stimulus to the economy. All those luxury cars they bought, the high end houses in gated communities, those meals in the best restaurants, the high dollar call girls that they swap around, the best adult beverages and those thousands of dollars a plate political dinners. Don't forget this same courthouse crowd are the ones who get themselves elected to our legislatures to make the laws that make all this happen.
I’ll say this for you son, you’re the kind of man it’s a pleasure to hang. If all you can talk is guff, go talk it to the devil.
How long has the LEO killer Mumia Jamal out lived his victim? More than 20.
His family members and attorneys who witnessed the execution expressed repeated concerns to each other that he was still conscious during the lethal injection. "He's going to wake up," one of McNabb's family members whispered.
He was pronounced dead at 9:38 p.m. CDT, authorities said.
*sniff*
I love a happy ending...
Lonesome Dove...
Thanks.
Yet another good reason for states to have a law, that if the preferred method of execution has been blocked, the default means of execution will be with firing squad.
The firing squad is inexpensive, quick, very difficult to appeal as a technique, needs to special chemicals, tools or training, and can be carried out by any LEO.
And any concern about blood and gore can be alleviated by giving the condemned an absorbent vest.
I wonder why carbon monoxide isn’t used?
Defiant? I guess that didn’t work. He is now appropriately DEAD.
Exactly. Why can’t we make these monsters earn their keep? Guaranteed, the threat of working for their stay, working at all, would be more of a deterrent to these creeps than the death penalty. And a savings for the tax payer.
Introduce them to the joys of bustin’ rocks.
“The POS lived at least 20 yrs too long.”
He was 20 at the time and had two children (and probably two baby mamas) to whom, his family would have you believe, he was a good father. Right.
Good question with an odd answer, that also applies to hydrogen cyanide gas. It requires the condemned to cooperate.
That is, the gas chamber was used on the assumption that the condemned will hold their breath, then no longer able to do so, will inhale a lot of gas all at once, which will kill them quickly.
But as was demonstrated, if they just continued to breathe normally, they experience slow suffocation, their skin turning bright red, and they struggle hard in agony as it takes a minute or two for them to finally die. It is extra ugly.
** Twenty days would have been more than sufficient.**
The murderer of Chicago mayor Antone Cermak met OLD Sparky less than 40 days after his attempted assassination of FDR.
oh yeah, the Mumia creature murdered Officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981!!! Mumia is still alive and no longer on “death row” since his sentence was commuted to life in prison after the libtards had managed to delay the execution for decades.... sick sick EVIL people:

I suspect that will happen when my friend Debbie’s 8 year old daughter’s Perp’s case hits the Feds, it’s taken 20+ yrs to just get through the state level. 2 jury trials, he beat, raped,strangled her with her own shoelaces until unconscious and then threw her body he’d tied in a blanket off a Memphis dock to drown. All state appeals upheld the DP.
And Debbie is in ill health and must travel to where ever those hearings will be held at her expense, while his is paid for with our tax $$. And she doesn’t even get to speak.
