Tied up his ex-girlfriend’s parents and killed them with a baseball bat in a drunken crack fueled rage.
Tried to shoot his girlfriend as well.
On Friday, he will be put to death by firing squad.
Personally, I’m not big on the death penalty.
you might’t dig an innocent man out of the grave.
I also don’t think the death penalty really deters people from murdering.
I won’t just live a miserable existence in a small box for the rest of my life?
I guess I’ll just go to church instead."
I kinda doubt it.
They’d probably tell you differently when the time comes and they’re being marched to a death chair.
But regardless, the death penalty is very real in America.
And I’ve always been confused as to why they make it so complicated.
Things of that nature.
Just put a gun to his temple and pull the trigger.
That’s as quick and painless as it gets".
But I always forget that means asking one individual prison guard to murder a guy in cold blood.
That’s kind of a lot to ask of a person.
That could fuck someone up in the head a bit.
You’d probably need to find trained professionals to do it.
Someone who’s mentally strong enough to carry that with them for the rest of their lives.
Then what if we find out that one of the men he killed was wrongfully convicted.
Then he’s got that on his conscious.
At least with a firing squad, you’re in it together with the boys.
It’s not just you who killed the guy.
I would have guessed at least five.
Maybe even closer to ten.
But still… three heads are better than one.
I’m sure they’ll grab a beer afterwards and get over just fine.
He rejected the electric chair, because he feared being burned alive.
He rejected lethal injection, because he was afraid it wouldn’t kill him right away.
And I guess the third option is firing squad.
They’re using the same room as they carry out the electric chair and lethal injections.
NPR- “I wouldn’t shoot in that space.
“If a round were to hit this chair anywhere in here, it could ricochet anywhere.”
Do you see what I mean by they over complicate things?
Can we not just let common sense prevail in situations like these?
I still feel like there has to be an easier way to do this.
And a way that wouldn’t cost a shit load of money.
Or what about morphine?
A slow morphine drip that puts the guy to sleep before he eventually overdosed and died.
I don’t want to sit here and brainstorm all the ways to kill a guy.
I feel like that could get a little dark.
Or maybe get me in trouble.
That it’s what these people deserve.
You could definitely make that argument.
It’s going down in South Carolina this Friday.
Rest in hell my guy.
