#1 Here's our chance to appease the eco-whackies: Feed him to the polar bears.

#2 Put him on a starvation diet for a few weeks before hand and see if htat helps. The fact that he'll be miserable is a plus.

If that fails I'm sure we can think of something else.

#3 Start giving him Clenbuterol and T3 every day. In 4 months he'll be ready to rock and roll. So to speak. That stuff makes you lose weight even if you sit on the couch all day.

#4 I think one of the best French contribution to civilization should be used in cases like this.

Paging Dr. Guillotine. Dr Joseph Guillotine!

However, debate rages over whether the quickness of the execution was humane or not, as many doctors put forward the notion that it could take up to 30 seconds before the victim lost consciousness.

#5 The guy shouldn't have raped and killed the two young women. You could put this guy on a Canada Greyhound bus with the crazy chinaman (Vince "Badger" Weiguang Li) with his hunting knife. Or you could fry him first and then give him a lethal injection. Or there is Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and NutriSystem to get him ready--no need for a law suit.

#6 Remove legs and then weigh him back in. I am sure he will make 'killing' weight no problem.

#7 Fat people die all the time. He's nothing special.

#8 This POS deserves no special consideration. The families of those two young girls have lived with the horror of what he did for more than 20 years. Any suffering he does while he leaves this mortal coil isn't a drop in the ocean compared to what he's caused, or what he deserves. What would be completely fair would be to execute him in the same way he did his victims--after first having him brutally beaten and raped.

#9 A half dozen 12 Gauge shotgun slugs transiting his body at high velocity WILL take care of the issue. Or if he wants a more interesting death, stand him in front of an M1 and shoot him with a canister round.

Course, my preference would be to drop him in a vat of molten glass and then put the block on display in the town square.

#10 A stout hemp rope was good enough in our grandparents' day...

#11 Yeah, right, pal. I know a lady of my acquaintance who ballooned up while pregnant to about the same proportions as this guy (5'8", 275 lbs).

If they could figure out how to anesthetize her for a c-section, I think they can figure out how to get this lardass ready for his special day.
