Boo Hoo, how sad. Maybe you shouldn't commit crimes.

Maybe he has changed while on Death Row. The problem is that the murdered victim will be forever the same as they were the instant their life was taken from them. It is unfair for the condemned to hold up his own execution with years of appeals and then assert that he should not be executed because he has changed during this period.

@aIteredbeast although i agree its stupid to waste money but you have to remember some of that time is because of appeals etc to try and prove them innnocent which i think should be allowed. but there is actually a lot of evidence to suggestthat the lethal injection is very painful

[Derothil]

@aIteredbeast Well, before the Polunsky unit became Texas Death Row, The Ellis unit was it's former home. Now all male death row inmates are housed in the Polunsky unit.

i thought texas death row was strictly confided to polunsky,

[aIteredbeast]

i think they should be just strapping them to the gurney and putting a plastic bag over their heads. Why in the love of fck do we waste money as tax payers on highly expensive lethal injections, which also gives them an easy and painless death. if one of my loved ones got murdered i would wanna see that lil fckah struggle and suffer while dying. Like i say, put a plastic bag over their heads and watch the lil bastards struggle like kittens in a bag as they try gasp one last breath
