Don't you think that's a little extravagant on the taxpayer, since it only has to do you for an hour or two?

Well I figured the taxpayer spent all this money putting me to death... they can spring a good meal for me.

Besides... It's MY last meal so go F yourself! ;) (kidding)

Nug, did you want classic or pan crust?


Classic is the way I'd like to go out.;-)

1 Boiled Lobster
A grilled porterhouse steak
steak fries
warm apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream
3 glass bottles of coca-cola



Why?


Right now things are tough for most people in the US. But, even when things are great, the black people have to live with a lot of defacto shyte.

What would you chose for your last meal?

I'd have barbequed chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. A nicely butter kaiser bun. A cold homogenized glass of milk and a plain latte. For dessert a hot fudge sundae.

How about you?

Beans, cabbage, pizza, a bunch of beer, heavy fiber products, and anything else that would make my body be a ticking time bomb. They may execute me, but someone's going to have to clean up the mess afterwards, and it's not going to be me :twisted:

I want to have the satisfaction Lardass had on Stand By Me.... everybody puking from the smell and seeing all this crap everywhere.... puking on one person, who pukes on the next, and so on ...... making one big Barf'o'Rama.

The US won't trust their government for healthcare but trust them to administer executions.

He died hungry!

At 4 p.m., Davis was given a last meal of a cheeseburger, potatoes and slaw -- the same as what was served other inmates today -- but he has not eaten it, a prison spokeswoman said. (source)

Yeah, I can see, given the circumstances, one might be off his feed! :smile:

I don't know if this fellow was guilty or innocent, but he should not have been executed. Incarcerating a criminal for life, as opposed to capital punishment, is the best course of action for keeping criminals out of society and the wrongly accused from being put to death by their country.

I think it's largely fact against emotion and fact is more on the side of credibility. But you're right, if the guy is not 100% guilty he should just be left to rot in prison. I have to admit I'm on the side of the deceased's family. I think they probably have it right. How many of the protestors are present at every execution?

From what I read he was guilty. The people that recanted did so under pressure as well. I am against Capital Punishment as well but if this guy didn't have a death sentence imposed on him there never would have been such a fuss over his innocence. He was convicted by a jury to which the majority were African-American... and the jury recommended the death penalty.

He is 100% guilty. As the prosecuter said, Troy Davis had a better PR than the State of Georgia.

There are usually some at every execution in the US. Usually a couple who think the person is innocent but most just against the death penalty in general.

I heard Barry Scheck on TV (the forensics guy for OJ). He said a guy in Texas was executed for a murder in which the primary evidence was a strand of hair left at the scene linked to him. After he was executed they determined the hair was not his.

Yep, sh*t happens, so we know he wasn't guilty of that particular crime but perhaps he killed half a dozen other guys he never got charged with. Things have a habit of balancing out. It does get tough however when you happen to be the victim. (Has anyone determined Barry Schreck's reliability?)

Just in case anyone was squeamish about clicking on her link, I'll include the whole (short) opinion piece.

I don't think Ann cared if he ate or not:


COP-KILLER IS MEDIA'S LATEST BABY SEAL




For decades, liberals tried persuading Americans to abolish the death penalty, using their usual argument: hysterical sobbing.

Only when the media began lying about innocent people being executed did support for the death penalty begin to waver, falling from 80 percent to about 60 percent in a little more than a decade. (Silver lining: That's still more Americans than believe in man-made global warming.)

Fifty-nine percent of Americans now believe that an innocent man has been executed in the last five years. There is more credible evidence that space aliens have walked among us than that an innocent person has been executed in this country in the past 60 years, much less the past five years.

But unless members of the public are going to personally review trial transcripts in every death penalty case, they have no way of knowing the truth. The media certainly won't tell them.

It's nearly impossible to receive a death sentence these days -- unless you do something completely crazy like shoot a cop in full view of dozens of witnesses in a Burger King parking lot, only a few hours after shooting at a passing car while exiting a party.

That's what Troy Davis did in August 1989. Davis is the media's current baby seal of death row.

After a two-week trial with 34 witnesses for the state and six witnesses for the defense, the jury of seven blacks and five whites took less than two hours to convict Davis of Officer Mark MacPhail's murder, as well as various other crimes. Two days later, the jury sentenced Davis to death.

Now, a brisk 22 years after Davis murdered Officer MacPhail, his sentence will finally be administered this week -- barring any more of the legal shenanigans that have kept taxpayers on the hook for Davis' room and board for the past two decades.

(The average time on death row is 14 years. Then liberals turn around and triumphantly claim the death penalty doesn't have any noticeable deterrent effect. As the kids say: Duh.)

You know what I hate about Ann Coulter, besides the fact that she look like a transsexual zombie, is that people think she speaks for the right and she doesn't. Nor does Pat Robertson or that other nut cake Michael Savage. Ann Coulter is an entertainer, who makes a lot of money pissing people off, but she does it for one reason and one reason only. $MONEY$

She loves being a lightening rod. It sells books.

Have you ever heard Michael Savage? He hates everyone.
