Wow, talk about a guy being proven wrong:

Guy Who Said He Was Too Fat To Die Is Executed

His lawyers bithced and whined about "state sanctioned murder", although it was pretty evident this guy deserved the death penalty. His appeals were not based on a question of his guilt, but rather on him being a great big fat fuck.

See ya' in Hell, Richie...

I saw that on CNN... what a strange world we live in.

It reminds me of that cliched, melodramatic line, I'm too young to die!!! "I'm too fat too die" sounds a lot funnier.

This kind of reminds me of that guy in Florida who's head burst into flames when they electrocuted him.
Of course the real problem with that execution was later on, when they actually found the guy who had committed the murder.
They could free his "accomplice" who had been sentenced to life, but it was kinda late to do anything for this guy.

Florida executed an innocent man? When did this happen?

Its nice to know that someone got what he deserved and that he couldn't weasel out of it despite his scumbag lawyers trying to use whatever crock of shit excuse they can.

What kind of dumbassed argument is that, anyway? "I am too fat to be executed". He might be too fat to run a 400-meter relay, or too fat to pick up women in a bar, but too fat to die? I just feel sorry for the prison guards that had to lug that POS out.
