No more last meal choices for death-row inmates Good. They can eat a steaming plate of dog excrement for all I care.

Hey, we don't let death row inmates smoke because of health concerns. ;)

And the cost of that last meal was what $100-$200-$300?
Compared to (1) the cost to try and convict someone of murder, and (2) the cost of the bad publicity from breaking a longstanding tradition of allowing a condemed person to request their last meal, it seems cheaper to just let the practice continue.

two chicken fried steaks, a triple meat bacon cheeseburger, a cheese omelet, a large bowl of fried okra, three fajitas, a pint of Blue Bell ice cream, and a pound of barbecue with a half loaf of white bread,"Are you up to the Death Row Challenge?"

The senator recounted Brewers order of two chicken fried steaks, a triple meat bacon cheeseburger, a cheese omelet, a large bowl of fried okra, three fajitas, a pint of Blue Bell ice cream, and a pound of barbecue with a half loaf of white bread, calling it ridiculous.

You know, I wouldn’t really have a problem with the cost of preparing such a feast if only it was done less than a year after sentencing.
The very idea that Texas and other states are keeping these killers on death row for years and even decades is what is appalling.

Sounds very Texan not to mention multicultural to me.
Put some gravy on that sumbitch!
To: Red Badger
One extreme action leads to another extreme reaction. Sheesh.
Have some mercy and grant a dying man’s wish. (Yes, within reason, of course.) It’s good for us all.

Those meals are clearly dangerous! Both of those guys died soon after eating them.

Correct. At the very least, I'd still grant the request to the perps who waived their rights to endless appeals and accepted the fast track to the needle and gurney.
I'd even allow a token cash payment to their next of kin for some of the money saved. Not that they deserve it, but because it would make libtards scream even louder.

To: JRandomFreeper
This kind of indulgence to the condemned is a virtually universal practice in Westernized countries. Even this “wasted” meal as listed should have cost less than $100. If they are so worried about others wasting theirs, I’d suggest having the prisoner’s family pay for it, and/or if the prisoner has a prison job (is this done for death row?), from the prisoner’s savings. What the prisoner does not eat would go to the prisoner’s family.
Why not hang or execute condemned people at noon on TV? This would make more sense than petty repudiation of a long standing Westernized practice.
