You kidding? They just put an IV in your arm, and then put a toxic chemical into your bloodstream. Only takes about 10 seconds or so.

k.
But look out for the Straight outta Left Field Reasons on why not to!

Many reported ones include, Executioner couldn't find a Vein and the inmate actually looked up and asked, "Is it in yet?" and reportedly suffered the first couple times the executioner missed. Another was it was improperly done and made the prisoner suffer for approx. 30 minutes before it finally kicked in, leaving a severe chemical burn on the arm. and Now, many watchdog groups say that it is inhumane and harshly critisize people that administer the injections, and now they're having issues finding anesthesiologists to administer the 3 shot cocktail. Now, they want to overload the inmate with Barbiturates like they do to sick and dying animals at the Vet.

sigh. More shootings. More Deaths. More Epic Failures. You'd think with a gun like that he could get a little more than 8.

The reason they do it is to become famous. What news organization is going to ignore a mass shooting?

I remember one shooting I heard about recently, I'm not sure if it was this one. The shooter left a note in his home that read: "Now I'll be famous." That shooter shot many people and then killed himself.

I've done some research on historical shootings. In Australia the government took away all firearms from the people after a shooting. There has not been any shootings since the Australian government took away guns.

In the US the right to bear arms is part of the constitution, it can't be changed easily or willingly.

Also taking away guns only creates a black market and only bad people would have them.

Also why would anyone want to stay alive not only for the legal proceedings but also the shame and the hate.

I think that this is a conflict with our constitution. We can do one of two things or both: make is illegal for news organizations to report mass shootings, or take away firearms. Both are part of our constitution.

I don't think anyone when this country (the USA) thought of the ramifications of allowing people to own guns, and how the power of technology would allow newer more deadly ways of killing. Maybe in the 1800's guns may have required about 1 minute per shot. A person would have to clean and restock his weapon in order to shoot again.

However in our modern world, one man armies are possible because of how advanced weapon/gun technology has advanced. We have guns that can release hundreds of rounds per second, long distance weapons, the ability to build high explosive weapons, etc.

A few hundred years ago shooting many people was nearly impossible because of the limits of technology.

I think our schools would be better protected by technology. My two cents is this: infrared, or optical equipment that can see through clothes, and bullet proof glass on windows. People watching the cameras could report to the police that someone would be carrying a gun or other weapon.


That's my 2 cents.

Family
I'm so sorry for what I've put you through. I never meant to hurt all of you so much and I don't blame any one of you for disowning me. I just can't be a burden to you and my friends any longer. You are all better off without me. I'm so sorry for this.

I've just snapped. I can't take this meaningless existence anymore. I've just been a constant disappointment and that trend would have only continued. Just remember the good times we had together.

I love you mommy
I love you dad
I love you Kira
I love you Valancia
I love you Cynthia
I love you Zach
I love you Cayla
I love you Mark. (P.S. I'm really sorry)

Friends
To all of my friends [and family (Crossed out)], I'm so sorry for what I've done to you and put you through. I've been a piece of shit my entire life. It seems this is my only option. I know everyone will remember me as some sort of monster, but please understand that I just don't want to be a burden on the ones that I care for my entire life. I just want to take a few pieces of shit with me. I love all of you so much and I don't want anyone to miss me. Just think about how much better you are off without me to support. I want my friends to remember all the good times we had together. Just think though, I'm gonna be fuckin' famous. You guys have always been there for me, I'm just sad that I'm gonna have to go this alone. You guys are the best friends anyone could ever ask for. That's all I have to say is that I fuckin' [love] you guys.

P.S. I didn't eat that fuckin' sandwich or the toilet thing either!

My Will
I'm giving my car back to my mom and my friends can have whatever else I leave behind.

MindFight,
Those are all good ideas, but a lot of places don't have the money to spend on that sort of stuff. I doubt it's very cheap.
