Danny Rolling was executed last night. Most of us living in Florida will remember his murderous spree 16 years ago. He sang a song as his last statement so I thought I would sing one just for him.
to the tune of rawhide.
Rolling, rolling, rolling
keep the poison flowing
hell is where you’re going,
Danny Harold Rolling
has died!

Quote: “When these crimes happened in 1990, they were by far the most horrific thing that had happened in Gainesville and in the University of Florida community,” said Bill Cervone, a prosecutor in Gainesville.
He said he witnessed the execution, adding, “I’m not sure that the punishment fits the crime, but I do know this: Danny Rolling will never kill again.”
> So, what punishment, in Bill Cervone’s judgement, would have fit the crime of murdering several young people and beheading on of them? I can’t imagine what he’d have prescribed.
It’s possible, Vladimir, that he may have felt that execution was too humane. If so, I agree. I would rather see this guy, along with others, sentenced to a special gulag set up in Alaska, serving a hard labor short rations life sentence moving snow and breaking ice for caribou migration. Frostbite would be a nice little extra.
Of course, now I have confirmed all of those “heartless” evaluations that leftards make about us warmongering conservatives. Please, ask me if I care.
Can’t a man dream…
I lived in Florida at the time. It was terrifying- partially because of the number of suspects that were in the area at the time. His crimes were heinous.
I remember laying in bed unable to sleep one night because I couldn’t convince myself the murderer couldn’t get in a car and just drive to the city where I lived. He was actually found not far away, in Tampa.
He was really sick. I think in one house in Tampa, he had robbed it and then eaten a peanut butter sandwich at the kitchen table.
Hmmm. Alaska doesn’t have the death penalty, and I used to think that was kind of wussy. Maybe not.
Personally, I’m a fan of the human piñata. Get a bunch of doctors and scientists together and allow them to beat the crap out of the murdering bastards. Any organs or body parts they knock off in their swing they get to keep and utilize for medical research and scientific experimentation!
but, But, BUT!!!
What about those in need of organ donations? Oh, the humanity…damaged kidneys…bruised corneas…mangaled livers…..I WEEP FOR THOSE IN NEED…
ooooooooooo……..coffeecake……
Couldn’t we just use his head for the pinata?
Good suggestion, cause what sort of idiot would transplant the brain of a psychopathic murderer into another body?
“Abby something.”
“Abby…something?”
“That’s it! Abbynormal!”
*sigh* Does comedy get any better than that?
I graduated from UF in December 1989. My then fiance (since divorced), a petite brunette, was still attending the year he came to town. She lived just off of Archer road, a stones throw from Christa Hoyt. At the time I was working a seven-on, seven-off at Sarasota Memorial Hospital so my off weeks were spent up in Gainesville playing armed guard. Not good times.
It was a couple years prior, while still attending UF, when they fried Bundy. I remember trying to round up some buddies for a road trip over to Starke. I didn’t think it wrong then to celebrate the death of a monster, I still don’t now. But I’m not so much glad he’s dead as I’m sorry he ever lived.
Its always the same story with these types, abused as a child. I’m begining to believe the parents who created the monster should also be held accountable. Why should they be able to abuse their children into becoming demented monsters who destroy innocent people’s lives? Their asses should be on the gurney too.
Hey, MW and Ardsgaine: More pinatas!!!
