i used to be rather intrigued by the then prisoner on death row , Timothy Mcveigh , the man who killed 168 people when he drove and parked a van loaded with explosives in front of a building. In 2001 he was executed and i saw him getting executed by lethal injection on the internet live and it wasn't a very pretty , but hauntingly peaceful sight. I don't know whhy i was so fascinated about the whole episode , presumably because there was supposedly others in conspiracy with him that never got caught , much like the JFK assasination . I have watched JFK documentaries on Discovery channel a few times and have seen the actual eerie footages. Was Harvey Lee Oswald the one who really assasinated JFK ? Or were there others ? Was is the 'Umbrella' man ? We'll never find out. But one thing is for sure ( major digression comin up ! ) - we'll never be able to know how it really feels like to be on death row , to know the exact time of your death. To actually be strapped on the familiar brown 'execution bed' and know that the fateful phone call from the red phone that would mean parole will never come. To have your life ebb away as the lethal combination of chemicals suffocate your vital organs one by one. And worse of all , knowing that it'll all be telecast live !
Moral of the story ? Don't kill people.
P/s : Tim Mcveigh bears an uncanny resemblance to Eminem!
