Victim sits front row during serial killer Bobby Joe Long’s execution
2019-05-25
[NYPOST] A serial killer who terrorized Florida with a 1984 spree that claimed the lives of 10 women was executed Thursday, his execution witnessed by the woman who survived one of his attacks and helped in his capture.
Just say no to recidivism.
The killer terrified the Tampa Bay area for eight months in 1984 as women began showing up dead, their bodies often left in gruesome positions. Most of the victims were strangled. Some had their throats slit. Others were bludgeoned.
Inmate Bobby Joe Long was pronounced dead at 6:55 Thursday after a lethal injection at Florida State Prison, authorities said.

#9  I noticed something missing from the news accounts I read about this event. Usually, the ink stained wretch (disclosure: I'm a recovering ink stained wretch myself) makes sure to interview some anti death penalty protesters outside the fence. Didn't see any of that in this case.

He was a non-black guy. The sob stories get published only if the executions are of black guys. Hispanics don't get a lot of sympathy unless they're illegal aliens.

#7  At least the perpetrator met justice, unlike the neocons who do the same thing but several orders of magnitude larger.

I actually laughed when I read that. Someone needs to take a couple deep breaths, maybe go for a walk.

#3  They'd make a movie on it if she was only black and was kidnapped by a fat, white serial killer.

Jordan Peele himself would jump at it.

Until then, the docu Twisted will have to do.

#2  Justice delayed far too long.

#1  Drenched in the blood of innocent people who didn't deserve to die. At least the perpetrator met justice, unlike the neocons who do the same thing but several orders of magnitude larger.
