“Go Raiders”

Criticism of Robert Charles Comer will never end. We come to realize that, but couldn’t the guy come up with some better last words? Perhaps if he had been executed last week, would it have been “Go Suns?” What about, “Gee I’m glad I’m getting executed today.” As many years as the guy had on death row waiting to be executed and that’s the best he could come up with? “Go Raiders.” We’re a little disappointed. Executions aren’t nearly as exciting as they used to be. Even Comer’s last meal request was pretty boring. Fried okra, four dinner rolls, two pieces of banana bread, and generous amounts of butter and salt – that’s what he wanted for his final meal. Given the lack of excitement around death row executions these days, and the public’s general annoyance with how long they take, maybe it’s time to speed up the process a little. It took seven years from sentencing to today for Comer. What was seven years for? It certainly wasn’t for “Go Raiders.”
