The media played up this story like it was the most important thing with “updates” all day long.

They created a circus around this idiot’s late but well deserved death.

Utah executes convicted killer Taberon Honie<<<

Honie, 48, spent much of Wednesday meeting with family members for the final time and told them to "keep your heads up."

According to staff members who witnessed Honie's final goodbyes, there were "lots of emotions and tears," but he still managed to crack a few jokes, said Utah Department of Corrections spokesman Glen Mills.

A few jokes, eh?

Yes.
The executions should be done soon after the conviction.
The publics are still aware of the terrible deeds of the criminal, and approves the execution.
After 25 years, the case is long forgotten, and now they are killing some guy, whom they portrait pretty sympathetically.

Anyway, why don’t they just call execution a very late abortion. The state is acting like a mother to us anyway.
Them, all the lefties will to approve.

“After Honie’s death, his father and cousin were allowed into the execution room and performed a Hopi ceremony to help free his soul, Honey explained. The ceremony included using feathers and cornmeal to lead “a path for the soul to leave the room,” he said.” https://www.sltrib.com/news/2024/08/08/utah-executes-taberon-honie-by/

AGREE! Even Ted Bundy was put to death faster: 11 years after he was caught. Everybody thought that was too long to wait, but now it would be considered fast.

His sentence should have been carried out one day after the sentencing.
