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 https://bohiney.com/mahmoud-khalifa-executed/ 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.===================
Patriot Punch and Public Executions: America's Newest Tourist Attraction
Every great city has a reason for visitors to flock to it. New York has Broadway, Las Vegas has the casinos, and now, Louisiana has
state-sanctioned executions with live entertainment.
Bars across Baton Rouge ran execution specials, featuring the dangerously potent Patriot Punch-a blend of whiskey, hot sauce, and "liberal tears," served in an ammo can.
"It really pairs well with watching due process get deep-fried," one bartender explained, pouring another round.
The event proved so popular that tour groups are already booking next year's "Death Row Party Crawl," which includes stops at Angola Prison, a reenactment of Khalifa's final meal, and a special meet-and-greet with the governor, who will sign autographs and pose next to a cardboard cutout of the electric chair.
Locals say they're happy to have an event that "really captures Louisiana's spirit" and brings people together-"kinda like Mardi Gras, but with less sin and more state-sanctioned revenge."
