It reminds me of the old joke about the kid who murders his parents and then asks the judge for mercy because he's an orphan.

It's perfect liberal logic: keep a murderous scumbag alive for an extra 2+ decades, however long it takes until he becomes sick or enfeebled, then say it's too late to allow justice to be served........ wait 'till the Mumia-scum starts claiming he's ill after being on death row for 20+ years............

As a California taxpayer, I want this cold blooded killer executed. If it had been done 25 years ago, when he first landed on death row we could have saved hundreds of thousands of dollard on appeals, and upkeep.
To: SmithL
What does his condition have to do with anything?

Indeed. My sympathies for you're being a California taxpayer. I suggest ya'll execute him NOW before his health deteriorates further :-)

Maybe he can be awarded a "rest in peace prize".
I remember reading in the late 70s about the Crips and how they had become more than an LA gang. It seems that they had begun to deal in drugs big time and there reach extended to the Plains States and possibley even further east!
There is no doubt that his legacy is far reaching and maybe his books and preaching to kids had some effect but his victims cried for justice and it was meted out on Tuesday!

Someone please alert the Good Reverend so he can mark his calendar, and will Joan Baez be available as well?

He's too sick to die!
I've felt like that a few times after a particularly hearty party.

"Why would they be concerned about infections when the object is to eliminate the guy anyway?"
The alcohol is rubbed not so much for disinfecting as it is for making the veins rise to the surface and make them better visible.
To: One Proud Dad
...save on the medical bills we would have to pay to keep him alive...
Why do we give health care to people on death row, anyway? It seems to be counter-productive, to me.
To: SmithL
The libnuts are constantly screaming about equality...so what's the big deal? Fry him too! Why would his illnesses have anything to do with his scheduled LAWFUL execution?
This manufactured garbage from the leftwing anti-death penalty freaks makes as much sense as cleaning Tookie's arm with an alcohol prep prior to starting his IV. We just wouldn't want him get an infection, would we?
LOL.

They should have executed him 25 years ago and he wouldn't be sick and frail today!

I understand he considers himself a Choctaw Indian. The Department of Corrections considers him white. I have no idea what the Choctaw Nation considers him.

That's no joke. That happened in the Menendez brothers case. It was Leslie Abramson's argument in the penalty phase.
To: SmithL
If it can be confirmed that he is suffering, let him live.
To: Tax-chick
Delay the execution for almost 30 years, and then claim the person shouldn't be executed because he's old now.LMAO! You nailed it. How about we help 'em out and stop the aging process?

Is this the libs new tactic? Delay and stall till a Death Row inmate is old and feeble, and thus not eligible to be executed?
