An inmate in the US is claiming he’s too fat to be executed, because the executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that the drugs used would be reduced in effectiveness due to his weight.
Richard Cooey, 41, is sentenced to die in the US state of Ohio for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for October 14. Cooey is 170 cm tall and weighs 121 kg.
Tough shit, fatboy. My advice to the prison authorities is put him on a starvation diet, say no food for a month or so. Then when he reaches goal weight, strap him down and needle him.

Your post just screamed for me to comment. Tell them I’ll gladly go and execute that fat boy, he’s led a life that deserves death and I might add, a life that deserves him to fucking suffer as he dies….call me, I’ll even pay my own way!!!!
And he’s not even that fat! We can’t afford to keep feeding him – execute him already!
I’ll shoot him with a 50 cal. that will kill anyone.
Your post is filled with fat hate. I also want to say that I firmly believe that the death penalty is wrong. The state is committing murder and in this case it is even more cruel and inhumane. How does killing someone improve society in any way? The states with the death penalty do no have a lower rate of homicide and therefor it does not even function as a preventative. The death penalty also enlarges the circle of victims because the person who is put death has loved ones that will grieve for his/her loss. Further the death penalty is racist in its application in that more POC have been put to death than whites despite the fact that POC are a minority. Another point to consider is that people who are wealthy do not get sentenced to death and the reason is that they can afford better lawyers. Another factor consider how many people have been released from prison after being cleared by DNA. The death penalty is permanent.
While I agree that executing a prisoner causes despair and sadness to the families/friends of the prisoner, you can bet this germ gave no thought to the families of the two young women he raped and murdered. It is lame to say it is racist because more POC are executed than whites, that is NOT racist. Crime knows no race, creed or religion. If you rape and murder people, who cares what color or race you are. Can you really begrudge someone a top rate lawyer if they can afford it? If you want and can afford a mercedes you aren’t going to settle for a backyard POS now are you?
I second that, Nunyaa.
Like the old saying goes…
Kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out!
I second your emotions!! Well said!
