He's the guy who murdered two Bank tellers in cold blood.
He gained 400 Lbs in jail so they couldnt hang him.
Well, he still aint Dead and aint gonna be executed.
Here's the end of the story.

What's worse, the prison system let him adopt a child????
This is the kind of stuff that really makes me sick with the antics of elected officials, and limp wristed Judges.

 

Isn't he the fat slob that claimed hanging was *cruel and inhumane* and argued this in court (ie, prolonged his life), thus making hanging the optional method of death for those sentenced to the death penalty? I liked it back when we were the only state in the entire country that had hanging as the default method. Fear is a good thing for some criminals.

 

Sounds like a bullet to the head would suffice. That is, after all, what he did.

 

Problem with hangin the ***k was 'cause of his weight. court said it would make his haid pop off.

 

You're not gonna believe this but my mother is friend's with Mitchell Rupe's wife, I'm not kidding either.

 

Dariand that's unusual allright. I dont remember any mention of him haveing a wife.

My thread was to illustrate the inept public officials in Washington state.
Several people should have quit thier jobs and refunded all the salary back to the State of Washington over that mess.

 

Thats Pay per view material right there

how do you gain that kinda weight eatin prison food?

 

Protein shakes..... prison style

 

As I recall the issue was that due to his weight it wouldn't break his neck promptly and that he would, um dangle there (like anyone should really care, look at what the hell he did). But I'd have no problem if his head, well, "popped off". I'm biting my tougne on the preferred choice of words.

 

I wonder about the cost of placing my opinion, in my words (similar to Bill's words) about that whole deal, on the Front page of the Seattle Times?

I dont think there's anyplace you can put a thing like that, to get everybody's attention and get people to demand a lot more from the Elected and appointed officials. They are supposed to be working for US. Not for themselves.
They just share dollars with no useful outcome for US.

 

They would probably like to price you out of doing that since it is Seattle, and instead they'd use that space in the paper to discuss why raising your taxes to help the bums/loosers/flunkies/druggies/baby generators walking the streets is a good plan as it enables them to attempt to emulate the same quality of life that normal citizens have (I lived near there for almost 10 years and saw enough King Co crap ). And if they did run your placing in the seattle slimes, plan on the editor and editorials trashing you. Over there they, as a group, think differently than folks do on this side of the mountians. Over there the thought would probably be "he's not really all that bad of a guy, he just made a few bad decisions. Give him another chance. Everyone makes a few mistakes." Around here it would be "string him up, it'll teach him a lesson". Lots of big yellow piddle stains in peoples mattresses in a few counties west of here .

 

I got no problem with hangin' him.

Use WIRE rope.

If that rope breaks - HANG HIM AGAIN!

 

> once in part because he argued he was too fat too hang.

Get a bigger horse

 

If they're not going to hang him, then water boarding, everyday, for the rest of his life.

He'll beg to be hanged.

 

so what's the problem?
