He'll be shocked to find out electrocution is worse.

A needle in my arm, are electricity through my brain?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Seems this guy has made a lot of bad decisions in his life. But at least he won't make that mistake a second time.

When they told him he had a choice between "Fried" or injection, maybe he thought they meant "Fried chicken for a last meal?"

I wonder if his victim(s) got the privilege of chosing the least painful way to depart this life?

- Hey, fellas! How about this for a headline for tomorrow's paper? 'French Fries'!
- Who: James French.
- Notes: French, a convicted murderer, was sentenced to the electric chair. He shouted these words to members of the press who were to witness his execution.
To: Perdogg
Could they just set the chair on "simmer" for a few hours?

None of us gets out of here alive. Some unlucky ones, like this guy's victim, take a shotgun blast to the face. Others, like him, get a quick, clean, and painless death.

Maybe instead of a meal, he could make his last request a movie screening. I recommend The Green Mile...

Recently - I had to have my favorite dog etherized.
We set my beautiful golden retriever (who had lymph cancer) up on the examination table. The vet had a light pink liquid in his syringe and started the injection into a vein in my dog's ankle.
Before the syringe was empty, my dog laid his head down on the table and was dead.
There was absolutely no sign of pain or discomfort.
I have zero sympathy for those who have murdered or in my book (attempted murder). They need to be pushed to the head of the line for Final Judgment.

I have always held that a massive dose of LSD should proceed
the fatal portion of the shot, and the executioners should all get to wear life like masks of the killers victims.
