How, just how could anyone enjoy a choice meal before meeting a firing squad? This guy had to be totally out of his mind.
And I do not necessarily favor the firing squad targeting the heart. The brain and brain stem would be targets giving a quicker kill.
Perhaps they shoot for the heart instead of the brain so they can have an open casket?
Not saying I agree or disagree, but it seems plausible.
Certain death and finality is a ton less stressful than the American legal system stretching out a failed cause for 10 to 35 years. They also tend to pump the soon to die full of psychotropics and it becomes taking grandma out for a nice meal.
There have been death row inmates who left things to eat later, told people they will talk to them later. As a good number of these people lived as solders in street gangs, the assumption is there is nothing the state can do to them that their friends or enemies could not be planning for them tomorrow.
Yeah, while the suffering is deserved, in a sense, the Nork’s method of instant obliteration is more humane...
After the man who murdered my best friend was imprisoned in the fall, a few months later I read in our local paper that NC inmates were treated to ribeye dinner for Christmas.
Not long after, that ‘luxury’ ended.
Not saying that inmates shouldn’t be treated with respect but luxuries are EARNED by humanity and murdering, stealing or beating people doesn’t qualify.
I don’t think inmates should get a last meal - there should be a set menu they can choose from to include KFC, McDonalds , Pizza Hut or the regular prison menu. They can get that ‘last meal’ in Hell.
“And I do not necessarily favor the firing squad targeting the heart. The brain and brain stem would be targets giving a quicker kill.”
I think they should take rounds to all four limbs before the kill shot(s).
How many cop killers are on death row right now? I’ll spring for the first 10 meals if the execution is gonna be carried out later this week instead of 20 years from now...
That is true, but I have absolutely no problem with dragging it out a bit in such cases.
Agreed. You are guaranteed to shit your pants, but worse aspirate your vomited food and choke to death before you bleed out. Absolutely no dignity, but that's why he ate like a murderous glutton -- he had no dignity to lose.
F*** quick kill. That is why shooters are “trained”. If taken from the public like jury duty many would have shot him lower so he would have died slowly like his victims.
The only correct “firing squad” execution would be like what the Soviets did, a quick small caliber round in the back of the head when you least expect it. Cheap and anon.
What a mess that would be
