Comments on: Obese Death Row Inmate Executed

Double Murderer Had Argued He Was Too Fat To Receive Lethal Injection

[liberalme]

Why did they feed and clothe and support this animal for 22 years? He should have been put to death the day after he was found guilty!

He should have been put to death in the same manner he killed those 2 girls--the needle is too humane.

[stopsocialis]

Hopefully He accepted Jesus Christ before his death

To Teutonicus: Some people just deserve to die. How do you rehabilitate someone who thought it was just fun to vicously kill two young women? I don''t care one whit about Cooey, but I do care about the girls and their families. We don''t need people like Cooey taking up space on the planet and breathing our air. Good riddance.

[cutetinia]

At least he knew the "Im too pretty to die" argument was out of the question.

[airboatboy1]

teutonicus-I think your wrong. I bet fatso here that just got put down like a mad dog will never commit another crime. And if he wouldn''t have been such a fat, whinin'' slob it probably would have been done sooner.

Liberals are ONLY liberal until it happens to them; when the action they protest against happens to them on that personal level, they are no longer liberal. They should have put him in a glass cage, pumped pot smoke into the cage constantly, gave him a blunt butter knife and told him to cut some of the fat off to feed himself his last meal, about a week in a special cage would do it, then put him into an isolation tank and let him baste for about two days, he would welcome lethal injection by then and not complain about how inhumane it was. Cooey was a pervert as a child and just got worse as he got older....good riddence to a waste of space.

"She was raped, bludgeoned with a wooden club, stabbed in the neck and strangled with a shoelace. An X was carved into her abdomen.

Dawn''s best friend died with her, in the same brutal manner. Wendy Offredo, Dawn''s Alpha Delta Pi sister and co-worker at the Brown Derby restaurant in Montrose, was a 21-year-old National Honor Society scholar, gymnast and competitive swimmer who loved to write poetry, cook, eat at fine restaurants and paid her own way by holding three jobs. She dreamed of a career as a model and actress.

Both bodies were discarded on Labor Day 1986 in the woods near Wadsworth Road in Norton near Rolling Acres Mall, southwest of Akron.

Two men, Richard Wade Cooey II, 19, home on leave from the Army, and Clint Dickens, 17, were convicted of the crimes.

The girls, just off their evening shift, were headed to join friends at the Harbor Inn, a local bar. A chunk of concrete thrown by Dickens from an overpass disabled Offredo''s newly leased black Pontiac Fiero as they drove on I-77. Cooey and Dickens drove down to Offredo''s disabled car, pretending to be rescuers. The girls went with them, stopped to make phone calls - Wendy to her mom (she was worried about how to get to work the next day), Dawn to the police - then got back in the car with the men.

They never made it to the party."

Rot in hell, fat boy.

[jmilah]

To bad all that food couldn''t save his life LMAO!!!!

[teutonicus]

your country is in the state it is in, rednecks and vicious revenge seekers. Ever heard about rehabilitation? The death penalty has not prevented one single crime from being committed. Yeah, and most people screaming revenge, revenge, fry him and whatever are avid church goers. Shame!

How is it that giving him a lethal injection is inhumane but what he did to those two girls wasn''t? He will rot now.

[rational_1]

"Cooey dined Monday evening on the special meal he ordered, including T-bone steak with A-1 sauce, onion rings, french fries, four eggs over easy, toast with butter, hash browns, a pint of rocky road ice cream, a Mountain Dew soft drink and bear claw pastries."

Hence the reason why he was 5-7 and weighed 267 pounds. Dude, when you get to h3ll, mix in a salad once in a while.

I''m surprised his last meal didn''t kill him before they got to him with the needle. What a waste - he probably could have given that scrawny little Japanese guy a battle in those eating contests.

[rwsmith29456]

Not coddling people who commit crimes like this sends the right message.

[credibility2]

I pray that the loved ones of this criminal''s victims can find some peace and sense of comfort and justice finally being served.

[ppagan57]

michaelt302, why would he worry about his heart? 1. He never had one. 2. He was going to die anyway.

[heero78-2009]

he should have said that he was too ugly to die also.

[hidegirlgcks]

Yes I too think the rest of the inmates on death row would try to get fat if he would have gotten away with it. I hope the families of these two girls can have some closure now. God be with them.

[bks59]

is the executioner a murder?

[Gary Kempf]

GOOD!!!!!

[questionnews]

Too bad they didn''t fry him in old Sparkey. At least there would be the smell of deep fry that would waft through the prison. It would smell like McDonald''s.
