Too Fat To Die

, by lethal injection that is.

A convicted rapist/murderer from Ohio is protesting his scheduled execution because, not only is he is too fat, making it difficult for executioners to find a vein in his chubby, over-nourished arm, but also a medication he takes for migraine headaches might make one of the lethal injection drugs less effective, exposing him to undue pain.

I am not in favor of torture, though if anyone ever deserved it, it is this sort of heartless bastard. I would much prefer the state be able to lodge a painless bullet or two in this murderer's puffy skull in lieu of the potential pain of injection.

If pain is the only issue, I'm sure the lawyers will understand.
