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

There are still plenty of means to kill him if lethal injection does not work.

Firing squad?

A lot of the people of which you speak don't love anybody.

Are you sure of that?

I guess you never say never, eh?

Nope because a lot of murder or manslaughter happen because of love.

That is true, I spoke too fast, just going on the assumption that of the tiny minority who actually get the death sentence, they'd have to be the worst of the worst. I should know better.

Don't blame yourself for being human.

I do have a question though. How long is it acceptable to torment a convict with the death sentence? Should there be a point beyond which the death sentence must be converted to life imprisonment? After all, immagine spending years on death row. Honestly, that would be worse than a quick death. For instance, if the convict is not executed yeat past X days, or X months, or 1 year or whatever, then would it be appropriate to say it's not humane to let that hanging over his head so long and it's now time to convert it to life in prison?

We all have a death sentence and most of us have no idea when we are going to die. Gawd is such a prick.
