Does he still get a last meal next time? If so, do you think he will choose the same? On a personal note. Is catfish freshwater, and is it any good? Rayozz

What useful purpose is served knowing what is eaten of not?
Surely the crime is more important, more so the victim.
This sort of thing is very much akin to the crowds who used to, and still do go along to public exections and gawp at the spectacle.

True, but if Skinner is back up for execution, he had his picnic once already, brown bag would be ok for the next time up.

I would rather him get the bag lunches he whines about for the rest of his life. The three ppl he murdered do not get anything.

Wow,delicious..(apart from the bacon)... To be honest,if I was to sentence s.o to life imprisonment I would have him/her eat very simple,very shallow meals for the rest of his/her life,and,from time to time, have the prisoner have one small plate filled with bits of things that are delicious,perhaps twice a years.It would remind the prisoner of the things he/she is missing out,also,the daily food would,in contrast taste more awful...combined with forced labour this would be a life of misery....

This board used to be good - but it appears "to go down the drain"
As mentioned before by Royd - has onybody ever thought about the victims - while wasting thoughts discussing about somebody's last meal - which wasn't one ?

This sort of thing is very much akin to the crowds who used to, and still do go along to public exections and gawp at the spectacle. Human interest. Tradition. People think about what they would want for a last meal. We know about the crime. It's discussed here and all over the internet. As to the victims - why aren't you posting about the victim? Why do you chide people for not doing what you yourself have failed to do? One thing about victims - because the defense has effectively aged the cases, it is difficult to find anything on them. Worse - if you try to find a photo or about what kind of person they were beyond their horrible deaths, it's very difficult. One can search to high heaven and find nothing. Online news archives cost money and they do not include photos or much info. A few do but they are of such poor quality as to be worthless. Often, nearer the execution, newspapers will dig into their archives and post some info. But, even that is rare. And before you try to blame that on us, too, I have sent emails to reporters requesting they do so. And while I've gotten polite responses, they never pony up. I won't pass judgement on how people behaved in a bygone era, but to claim reading about last meals is the same as attending an execution is ridiculous. Now, put your money where your mouth is and go find photos of Twila, Randy, and Elwin and post them here.

That's a ridiculous question - has anyone thought about the victims? Do you ever read any posts here or do you just complain? Because had you read much at all, you would not have to look long or hard to find plenty of posts about the victims. Click on the scheduled executions link and find the result of some pretty difficult research to find exactly that - information about the victims. Usually I cannot find anything about them as a person, although we get to hear plenty about the poor killer.... Please feel free to leave and not come back if this board no longer suits you....wouldn't want you to go down the drain with us...

I still maintain wanting to know what the last meal eaten is part of the macbre fascination and spectacle of the death penalty. What else will people want to know, did the person being executed soil them self? I believe all we need to know is the person is being executed, for "said" crime, giving the as much dignity and respect to the victims as is possible, in other words focus on who they were and not the horrors they suffered. As for posting pictures of the victims, I like to afford them some degree of respect and would not do so without the express permission of their families. Don't get me wrong, I am very anti-death penalty, I see it as a vestage of our darker past and sadly dark present, but I also acknowledge some crimes are so serious anything less than the death penalty would not be appropriate. It is from this conservative stance I express my opinions from. So I don't particularly want to know what the person ate or what the state of his underware is.

Now, put your money where your mouth is and go find photos of Twila, Randy, and Elwin and post them here. Nothing undignified about food. And as far as I know, a few inmates requested that it not be published and it was honored. So, what's your problem with it beyond the fact that you want to control what other people read? Antis don't give respect to victims. Usually, they are spreading lies about them all over the internet. All we hear about for years is what kind of wonderful person the murderer is. What the anti fan sites leave out is that they are the kind of person who gets off raping, beating, torturing, mutilating, strangling, shooting, killing people. Generally, published opinions only contain a brief rendition of the facts of the specific issues they are addressing. Therefore, the public gets little information on the horrible things the murderer really did. And of course, the press (p.r. firm to deathrow inmates!) will not report them. The photos were published in newspapers and/or entered into evidence. They are of the victims in happy moments of their life. Since the photos are in the public domain or do not belong to the families, it is not their permission to give. You're not fooling anyone. You do not want the victims seen as real human beings whose lives were taken away by your precious murderer. How the hell would I get you wrong? Not only are you an anti, you're pro murderer. Your arguments are intended to shield the murderer. Throwing in a theoretical "the dp is called for in some crimes" to make one appear credible, has been done numerous times before by antis. Then why did you read the thread? And when can we expect to see your detailed bios on victims posted? Or, are you just going to complain about others not doing it?

I cannot say how mistaken you are, and on how many levels to. I am anti-death penalty in that I don't see it as the be all and end all in fighting the problem of murder, I believe far more can be done to prevent crime, rather than to believe all is well just because someone has been topped. As for being pro-murderer, you could not be more wrong if you tried. So for me I see the death penalty as a rather poor second to prevention of the crime. As for the rest, this is going to be fun Don't forget a pig loves nothing more than to wrestle in mud.

Rayozz Yes, Rayozz, catfish come from freshwater and in this case it was probably channel catfish. Lots of folks in the US love it, me included. I love it rolled in flour or cornmeal and then fried. Spring and summer is the best time to catch them, so I'll be fishing soon.

What is ill informed, hypocritical and wrong about saying the death penalty as it stands is flawed, take too long to process, is inconsistent and so on. It would be ill informed, hypocritical and wrong to believe all is well and there are no problems.
