Respsonse to Puja: Too fat to be executed?


After reading that post I was extremely disturbed to say the least. That is the most absurd excuse to get out of anything that I have ever heard. The man straight up killed a  woman intentionally and did not deny it. To say that he is too fat to be executed is the grossest most messed up thing I have heard. I understand that being overweight does have somewhat of an influence from genetics and all but wanting sympathy for your body weight is just despicable. This man deserves to die by law, he killed that woman and in turn should be killed himself. No matter what person commits a murder no other factors apply to the death penalty, race, wealthiest, gender, age, nothing; killing is a completely unacceptable act. Being overweight can be genetic, however being obese, such as this man, is not genetic whatsoever. Obesity can be controlled by an individual therefore this man has no excuse.
On the other hand this article brought up a whole new thought for me. Why should the death penalty be quick and harmless? I know that I am not one to give sympathy much at all to anyone in any situation but seriously whether it is a painful death or not what is the major difference. The killers must face the consequences of their actions. I guess torture is viewed as inhumane or wrong but killers must be killed painful or not. Nobody should get special treatment on their death penalty no matter what their circumstances are. If this man is killed painfully with the death penalty then it is his own fault and nobody else's. It seems as only a case such as this would occur in the US, as we are viewed as the fattest country on earth. It is sad that in a country as great as ours we have scummy people like this man trying to beat the system for being fat that is straight up BS!
