U.S. death row inmate says he's too obese to be executed

Civilized countries don't kill their citizens. We'll leave that to the US and Saudi Arabia

many states in the u.s. do 'not' have the death penalty.

Similar case years ago in Washington State- "In 1994, a federal judge in Washington State ruled that 400-pound Mitchell Rupe was too heavy to be hanged and instead was eventually sentenced to life in prison. Rupe died in confinement in 2006."

I wondered at the time why they couldn't use a thicker rope.

Or stronger gallows.

Nobody is too fat for plastic bag induced hypoxia. Shrink wrap would be perfect.

Can't they hook up an extra generator to "Ol' Sparky"?

I've got a good idea. Don't execute anyone, just chemically induce heavy depression and let them kill themselves.

Here is another thing for you....someone murders or rapes one of my family members and there won't even be the cost of the trial let alone 18 appeals and a lifetime of free food & entertainment.

I feel sorry for people that are ruled by their emotions.

Because at the moment it is illegal. To not do it humanely would be unconstitutional. The US supreme court has stopped or delayed many executions when the method was in question.

Ohio could always give it a shot though. Change their method of execution to one bullet to the back of the head, but it'd have to be passed by the state government first.

I wonder if the victims were murdered and raped in a humane and respectful manner.

I feel sorry for people that are ruled by their emotions.

I have a lot of sympathy for the victims and their families

So do I but I don't have limited amounts of sympathy.

Hypoxia is the most humane method of all and one size fits all. BRING ON THE SHRINK WRAP!

Hell yeah and look at that neck...perfect for injection. Not too fat at all. I still like the shrink wrap idea though.

Wouldn't that be ironic

Civilized people don't murder others either. Those that do should be permanently removed to protect the rest of society.

I don't know if inducing hypoxia by shrink wrap would be humane at all. is it even possible? seems more like strangulation. this however seems like the most euphoric way to die ever
