Texas tries to outdo Florida

[Hornius Emeritus 12780]

How big of a loser do you have to be to get arrested for fighting at an execution?

I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed in his last words. The guy has had 30 years to think of what he wants to say and he comes up with "That will be five dollars?"  I mean, seriously? That's what you want to leave with eternity? It's not funny, it's not laden with double meaning, intricate symbolic order, pathos etc...  No.  It's just dumb.

Well, first off they're from Waco.  Second, his name was Billy Wayne.  Florida is right.

 

On a serious note, I don't know what is the proper reaction to witnessing an execution.  Violent outburst doesn't seem to be it, though.  It's a strange case.  The decendent had no prior criminal record and was non-violent and trouble-free for 30 years in prison.

We just need to stop this shit.

One article i read said his nickname at some point was Five Dollar Bill.

Still dumb.

I remember reading about this guy's crazy story prior to the execution.  I did not expect there to be more to it after they pulled his plug.
