He said that he wouldn't mind being number 1,001.

[Michael Goldsberry]

How about if we don't remember this murderer at all?

"I'd hate to be remembered as that," 57-year-old Kenneth Lee Boyd told The Associated Press in a prison interview. "I don't like the idea of being picked as a number."

An unfortunate smudge on an otherwise spotless life.

[RVN Airplane Driver]

What a brillant POS...

[BIGZ]

Why take this honor from Tookie?

[pissant]

Sounds like a very deserving person to be #1000. Hopefull we'll reach 2000 quickly.

[KeyLargo]

There should be some sort of prize that he wins.

Like maybe an all expense paid trip direct to Hell, where he will have the luxury of burning there in eternity!

[fat city]

These underachievers p**s me off.

[RangerM]

The people have spoken. The appeals are over.

The sentence is death.

'nuff said.

This applies to the "Nobel nominee" in CA. If he wants a stay, get his victims to say "OK".

[ncountylee]

Gee ...that's too bad.

[copycat]

Next.

[thoughtomator]

Maybe he can get them to hurry up so he's only #999?

[Thrusher]

Number 1001 will be just as dead.

[KarlInOhio]

How about doing what Benjamin Harrison did when he admitted North and South Dakota to the United States? Execute a couple of murderers at the same time so no one has any idea which one is really #1000.

I saw "Gacy" 2003 last night on T.V. The film maker added a statement at the end of the movie that Gacy was convicted and "killed." I could not believe what I saw.

So I guess to pander to the anti-death penalty crowd the film maker used "killed" in place of "executed."

"I'd hate to be remembered as that," 57-year-old Kenneth Lee Boyd told The Associated Press in a prison interview. "I don't like the idea of being picked as a number."

I am sure that July and her Dad did not want to be "picked" in the manner they were by you either you murdering scum.

Boyd called the death penalty "nothing but revenge."

Nope...it's called justice, and it's long overdue.

""I'd hate to be remembered as that," 57-year-old Kenneth Lee Boyd told The Associated Press in a prison interview."

Don't worry Kenny, no one will remember you at all.

"There should be some sort of prize that he wins."
Well, as a prize they could add a can of beer to his last meal.

You should have stopped the appeals; we could have saved a lot of money and you could have been moved to the front of the line.

Anti-death penalty advocates would rather have us be like the Euros. Like Britain, where the prisoners hang themselves. Or other countries where they don't even make it past the arrest.

Just as long as we don't kill them *after* the trial, you see.
