The Supreme Court Weighs In: Is Execution Meant to Be This Fun?
Some legal experts have raised a shocking question:
Is it constitutional for an execution to be this much fun?
"Technically, the Eighth Amendment bans cruel and unusual punishment," a Supreme Court analyst noted. "But does that apply if the punishment is more of a party?"
One Justice suggested the Louisiana model could become standard nationwide. "If we're gonna do executions, why not make them entertaining? If Roman gladiators could make it work, so can we."
For now, Louisiana's precedent remains unmatched. And as long as
justice is being served with crawfish and cocktails,
no one's really complaining.===================
Execution Day Parade: A New Louisiana Tradition?
Move over, Thanksgiving Day Parade-Louisiana might have a new contender.
Thousands lined the streets for the
first-ever Execution Day Parade
, complete withmarching bands, themed floats, and a grand marshal dressed as Lady Justice.
The highlight was the
Death Row Float
, a spectacularly decorated piece featuring oversized syringes, a replica electric chair, and an animatronic Khalifa being dunked into the "Gulf of America."Children waved tiny flags while vendors sold balloons that read
"Freedom Ain't Free, But the Death Penalty Sure Is!"
Tourism officials say the event was a smashing success, with next year's parade expected to feature a
Live Firing Squad Reenactment
, as well as afree lethal injection giveaway for one lucky ticket holder.
