Deathrow Inmate: "I'm too fat to execute."

Link to Article

He says that the executioners would have a tough time "finding his veins" to inject the poison into him, and, because of his immense size, the poison may take longer to kill him and/or not kill him at all in low quantities.

Well... that's why they invented the firing squad. :D

Agreed. And if people want those criminals to "suffer", putting them in a a containment center for the rest of their life is more satistfying than making him die and "getting it over with", so to speak.

I'm all for it. As long as you're the one paying for it.

[QUOTE="smack_masta"][QUOTE="Whicker89"]Sigh, the death penalty is wrongWhicker89

That is very true. I mean some psychological punishment would be much more rewarding, make the guy go insane.

sad day for the justice system

But Tying the condemed to a rack, having him hang from the neck until nearly dead then disemboweling him slowly then cut him into four pieces and roasting his gentalia sounds much more satisfying /Whine

Great, more psychopaths to go around. Change a regular killer into a psychopathic killer. Bravo, you just solved our problem. :|

Murder doesnt stop murderWhicker89

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Executing a murderer effectively stops them from murdering again far better than a 15 year sentence with parole does.

Forgot the part when we let him out... oh yea, you just keep his ass in there...

actualy in that case it certanly does. Unless he is going to return as an evil ghost he is never going to kill anyone else.

and dont forget deterrence, i belive that criminals should have an intense fear of the law.

Ditto.

Paying taxes to support someone who ended anothers life is wrong. Must do some bad to bring upon the good.

Yep the Death Penalty. It isn't placed in effect here in Canada for the reason that it is not necessary. I say, let the criminals deal with their convictions.

Lmao. Just hang him or something.Zaeryn

lol he'd snap the noose

You think the death penalty does that? Criminals don't think about consequences before they commit a murder in most cases.

its far cheaper than death penalty

[QUOTE="Whicker89"]Sigh, the death penalty is wrongsmack_masta

and what of all those men who were put to death when they were innocent? It is wrong. You cant commit the same crime on someone that you are punishing that person for.

How is he staying that fat in prison? Sounds like someone is getting the royal treatment on the taxpayers' dollar.

He should be let out in the yard and made to run for his life from other inmates (from what I hear, they hate rapists) for a coulpe hours per day until he loses enough weight. :lol:

Not all of them, if the death penalty can scare some criminals out of killing inocents then its worth it in my books, the criminals should live in fear not the people.

The death penalty is not a deterrent. Its been demonstrated numerous times. Not only is it not a deterrent, but it costs more to the taxpayer to execute someone than to imprison them for life.

Good thing he doesn't live in a world where i'm governor. The single most harshest method of execution happens to only work on obese people, and the fatter the better.

The idea is to starve them while they are submersed in a pool of water. Keep them sustained so they are only just alive. After a while their skin will of sagged and they will of gained a large amount of excess fleash from starvation. Once that's happened, crucify them, but instead of nailing their wrists, you use the flaps of their excess skin.

Anyone who's played Clive Barkers Jericho near to the end will of seen a blasted field full of such victims. It's lovely!

[QUOTE="smack_masta"][QUOTE="Whicker89"]Sigh, the death penalty is wrongWhicker89

But it cleans murderer from Earth so it cant happen again.

Just look at that joke HAAG.Criminals who are responsible for thousands of deaths have computers and fresh meat in their room.

Killing someone for economic reasons... eugh...

achh.. give the guy another chancemaccer101

What for raping and murdering 2 women? I don't think so! Prisoners have too many rights nowadays, he should be executed regardless of weight and stuff. They have the cushy life and they know it.

As soon as you take somebodies life then you have given up every human right you have, including the one to life. That's what I think anyway.

starve him to death while poking him with a stick, or put a choclate bar on a stick and put it infront of him and put a treadmill so he will run himself to death. im not fatist as im a chuuby boy myself.

Certainly, the death penalty does not deter against first-time murderers, but studies has shown that the death penalty is very effective in detering recidivism among re-offenders. And while it's true that the death penalty cost more than sentencing a person to life, that's because the death-row inmates exploited the court system by filing unnecessary appeals to delay their execution, thereby racking up the legal fees at the taxpayers' expense. If the criminal justice system limit the amount of appeals that death-row inmates can seek, not only it would prevent them from abusing the appeals system, but it would also save both the taxpayers' money and the court's time. Considering the fact that prison overcrowding is increasing at an alarming rate, I think the death penalty can serve as an attractive alternative to life imprisonment.

Finally, someone with sense.
