A killer named James Comer was executed in Arizona yesterday, and his last words were: \u201cGo Raiders<\/strong>!\u201d My feeling after the initial amusement was, What an asshole.<\/p>\n

The sports reference was done better by James Filiaggi, who was executed last month in Ohio. His last words were: “We all got to go sometime, some sooner than others. I’m going to be busy getting the Browns to the Super Bowl. Working magic. I love you guys<\/strong>.” \u00a0 Now those are some final words! Comer is such a wannabe.<\/p>\n

In February, James Jackson\u2019s last words were: \u00a0 “See you all on the other side. Warden, murder me … I’m ready to roll. Time to get this party started<\/strong>.” \u00a0 I like his attitude! You can probably tell he was black.<\/p>\n

I also like this, from George Harris in 2000: \u201cSomeone needs to kill my trial attorney.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Death Row<\/a> is just a huge source of fascination and entertainment for me. Whenever I\u2019m bored or restless or trying to avoid my own life, it\u2019s a wonderful distraction. I used to love reading about the last meals, and I still would if I could find a website that\u2019s up to date.<\/p>\n

I have had many arguments with friends who want to convince me that the death penalty is barbaric. I\u2019m a knee-jerk liberal except for this one issue. Sorry! If you want to read some more last words, go here<\/a>. It\u2019s actually kind of poignant to see the faces along with the quotes. And once you start, it\u2019s like salted peanuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
