Ronald Post - Too Fat to Execute???

HaHa, Can't Kill Me, I'm too Fat, Now Get Me a Cheeseburger Pussy!!!

            Yep, you read that correctly.  There is a dude in our country that has been in prison for 30 years and is sentenced to death January, 2013 but due to his weight, it most likely won’t happen.  They say his fatness is preventing them from finding a vein to insert the needle.He can't exercise because his health prevents him. 

Let’s start this uplifting post with TCY’s opinion.

            In the news today a convicted killer in Ohio is due to be executed and  has his lawyers filling an injunction stating that he is too fat to be executed. Ronald Post was convicted of killing a hotel clerk in 1983. The lawyers are saying that his weight would cause problems during the injections leading to torture and slow death. Violating his 8^th amendment rights. 

            Now for the good part, HE has been in prison for 30 freakin years! Where were his lawyers worrying about his 8^th amendment rights for the past 30 yrs? How do you get to weigh 480lbs on prison food?  Seems to me that if the Ohio prison system allowed a prisoner to get that FAT!! That would lead to a slow and tortured death. Plus where is the accountability to the tax payer? How much does it cost to feed the behemoth?

Bottom line, if the needle won’t kill him fast enough, a bullet will damn it! FIRE!!!!

Here is a link to an article on this too fat to execute prisoner.

                Ok, so we can’t execute this guy with a needle.  We definitely couldn’t hang him, because they are afraid it would pop his head off and we don’t want that to happen to a man we are trying to execute.  They don’t have stoning anymore.  We can’t electrocute him because he is too big to fit in the chair.  So, there are a few options that I can think of.  1.) Firing Squad.  No matter how big he is, a bullet in the head will take care of the problem.  It is legal in 4 states! Yep, I googled it, but too bad it is not legal in Ohio.   2.) Poison. A large enough dosage would put him to sleep all nice nice and he would never wake up.  I'm sure we could find a prison guard to accidentally put it in one of his many meals for the day  3.) Electrocution.  Up the voltage!  People die instantaneously all the time by touching live wires.  Don’t put him on old sparky, just connect the wires directly to his arms and hit the switch.  But yes, that seems a little too inhumane, it’s not like this dude is a convicted murderer right?  4.) How about they just put him in a hospital bed, yes they can find one big enough for him to lay comfortably but can’t find something to hold him while they fry him? Anyway, get him in a hospital bed and start the morphine drip! Maybe the morphine contraption will be made in Mexico or China and it malfunctions.  That’s all I’m saying.

He's Back!!!

He's BACK!!!

     

     Yes, it is true.  The Crankee Yankee has returned after a long hiatus.  But don’t worry; he is back with a vengeance!  With these attacks going on, I agree with TCY that something needs to be done, and even agree to give terrorists a taste of their own medicine, but not exactly the way he suggests.  First, if you don’t know what’s going on, over in Africa, here is a link to get you refreshed.

Here’s another link for what’s going on in Cairo.

The Crankee says. . .

9/11, the U.S.  suffered yet another attack from Muslims.  There is no need to call them extremist because that would be redundant. Don’t stand there and tell me that it is a small group of extremist that performed this attack on sovereign U.S.  land (the embassy), when the TV is showing hundreds of people protesting against America.

This is happening all over the world.  Why our government doesn’t understand that there is a holy war going on is beyond believe. The fact that the U.S. chooses not to participate in a holy war doesn’t make the fact that there has been one waging against us.

Fellow Americans, The Crankee, as always, has the answer that makes this go away. We have to fight on their terms. This is what they understand, this is what they respect. So here it is…..

                You want terrorism to rule the day, here’s how we play. The day after the attack on our embassy I would have targeted every elementary school house in that country for a missile attack to take place at 11:00am.  Extreme? You bet it is. This is however how we need to fight if we want to win this. Killing men who strap bombs to their own chest makes martyrs.  Killing the innocent makes mourners.  It has to hurt. There has to be such a big penalty for killing Americans that no one would dare think to try it ever again.

                A man might be willing to die for a cause; few are willing to kill their children for the same cause. Besides they are only teaching the kids to become the next generation of terrorist, so bombing schools makes good sense.  It kills off the next generation of weird beards.

Time to get mad

                As I do believe in retaliation, bombing innocent children is not the right way to go.  Let’s just say, President Obama grows a big ol’ pair of nutz and pushes the red button to launch every missle we have over there and disintegrates every little American hating kid.  I think that would just divide our country up and start another civil war here.  I think your idea of fighting fire with fire is right on the mark, but just not at the kids directly.  I understand that the enemy wants to and has killed Americans, then it's time to do what we do best and Kick Their Ass.  Just not the children directly.  I personally am all for dropping our vast supply of Nukes.  It ended the war with Japan pretty fucking quickly.  But what do I know.  I’m just a guy who gets the Crankee’s rants out to the general public.
