A death row inmate scheduled for execution says he's too fat to be put to death, claiming executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that his weight could diminish the effectiveness of one of the lethal injection drugs.Aw, poor baby.
Read what he did: He participated in trapping, raping, torturing, mutilating and brutally murdering two beautiful young girls who were working hard to make something of their lives. And at the time, when confronted by the family, he proclaimed "I believe in the death penalty and an eye for an eye." Guess that was just a "Please don't throw me in d'at briar patch" ploy.
I've always had mixed feelings about the death penalty. Certainly no one wants to see an innocent ever be put down, and I have very strong concerns about giving the state such power. What I come down to is what I would do to this worthless demon if he'd tortured and killed one of mine and I was able to get him in my power. Lethal injection would be an act of supreme mercy.
We all have the beast inside--some of us just control it better than others. I pray I will never choose to unleash mine.
