Idiot of the Day - Jeffrey Lundgren, Mass Murderer, Fat Guy
Oh, boo hoo, poor fat Jeffrey says he’s too obese to die by lethal injection. He killed “Dennis and Cheryl Avery, and their three daughters, ages 7 to 13, on April 17, 1989” - they were part of his wacky religious cult and apparently they just weren’t devout enough for him, so he shot them all to death.
Moreover, Lundgren’s lawyer claims that he suffers from medical conditions that would interfere with the effectiveness of the lethal cocktail and exacerbate his suffering. I’m sorry, why is it that I care whether or not he suffers a little extra? This isn’t one of those cases where there’s any doubt he’s guilty. Hey, I know, how about we use his obesity in his favor and let him die by hanging. His weight will be a big bonus and assure him of a quicker death. Although, if I had my druthers, he’d be tortured. Maybe a little Bush Administration approved interrogation technique gone awry. Anyway, why waste time with this case? Someone pull out a gun, pop him in one in the head, then we won’t have to worry about the poor poor suffering he might endure with his lethal injection.
Yes, I admit it, I’m one of those weird liberals who is in favor of the death penalty. I’m not always in favor of it, I know that mistakes have been made, and I believe that some people with death sentences should be allowed to live; for instance, Karla Faye Tucker and Tookie Williams, but apparently no one ever follows “Flippy’s Common Sense Rules for the Death Penalty”.

Y’know, that’s the beauty of the Glock 18 - it doesn’t discriminate against race, religion, OR fattiness. (and ironically enough, my word verification is ‘southern’
