Conservatives have an answer for that...just let the police shoot them when they are arrested, what a big money saver. I mean after all they must be guilty if the police arrested them.
Small minds seem to gravitate to meaningless gestures in the mistaken belief that they are such gestures actually mean anything other than the meaninglessness of their small minds.
Perhaps if Texans were interested in joining the rest of civilized society they might consider, if not abolishing the death penalty altogether, at least consider the abject corruption of how they go about applying it.
The snide remarks of a far left Obama supporter make me laugh. Texans and residents of the majority of states believe in justice for the most heinous crimes.
While I personally couldn't care less the death of these killers the death penalty only makes impotent people feel powerful, thats why society is willing to spend an astronomical amount of money to keep it. We need to feed our blood lust because we are not as civilized as we think. It doesn't make anyone safer, it's not a "better" form of justice, and keeps lawyers rich.
I'm for a reasonable last meal. This guy in the OP seemed to get more than anyone could have eaten anyway, THAT is the problem with the last meal in Texas. They could have inmates choose a normal sized meal with one entree and a couple sides of their choice, but for some reason they didn't think of that.

You are too late for that joke, someone attempted it on page 3 I think.
There was a skit I saw on tv as a kid and I always rememberd it. According to Wiki;
Quote:
An episode of the 1972 series The ABC Comedy Hour featured a sketch with Frank Gorshin imitating James Cagney as a condemned prisoner and Rich Little imitating James Stewart as a prison warden. When Little (as Stewart) told Gorshin he could have anything he wanted for his last meal, Gorshin (as Cagney) ordered "about a thousand" hummingbird tongues.

What kind of justice did Texas give Todd Willingham?
Ceece"We need to feed our blood lust because we are not as civilized as we think."
Amen, and this last meal move is Barbarism 101. What next, bill next of kin for the lethal injection, or start a self serve execution line?
