Last Meals
If ever you are in death row for something strange or disturbing you have done, what do you think will you have as your last meal? Will you go with the prison or jury's decision or you have something in your mind?
Here are some of the famous last meal requests of the most famous serial killers in history.
STEVEN WOODS
Woods was arrested due to his murder of a young couple 21-year-old Ronald Whitehead and 19-year-old Bethena Brosz. He was executed by lethal injection.
"Two pounds of bacon, a large four-meat pizza, four fried chicken breasts, two drinks each of Mountain Dew, Pepsi, root beer, and sweet tea, two pints of ice cream, five chicken fried steaks, two hamburgers with bacon, fries, and a dozen garlic breadsticks with marinara on the side."
Now that's a good meal. I mean, you're already counting your last minutes on the world so why not make the best out of it. By the looks of his request, you can tell how his mind enjoys his manly life but still acts like a child and barely shows his mature actions. But I can't purely and completely blame him for ordering that kind of food. It sounds really delicious and might as well just enjoy the last time of your life before you go to hell, or heaven if the angels accepted you.
ROBERT ALTON HARRIS
In 1978, Harris killed two young boys while in a Jack in the Box parking lot. Saying, "You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everybody dances with the grim reaper...,". He is a convicted car thief, kidnapper, burglar, and murderer. He was executed at San Quentin State Prison in 1992.
"A 21-piece bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, two large Domino's Pizzas (no anchovies), ice cream, a bag of jelly beans, a six-pack of Pepsi, and a pack of Camel cigarettes."
I really like this guy's request, except for the cigarettes since I don't smoke and Pepsi because I don't really like the taste of Pepsi. It's like a combination of how he really likes the go-to meals of most people living in this world today but still being a brave man when walking into a lake full of crocodiles and alligators. I mean, I don't really like anchovies so I will give him a point for that one. Imagine eating 21 pieces of KFC Chicken. That's a lot of chicken to be eaten by a girl actually but I don't think so for guys.
AILEEN WOURNOS
Wournos was executed by lethal injection because of murdering seven men due to, what she justified as, self-defense. She became known as America's first-ever female serial killer.
"Black coffee"
I actually knew her story because of watching several documentaries and a movie called "Monster" and I don't completely blame her because she had a very troubled childhood. But as I always heard, if you drink your coffee as straight black, you are really bad. This is one of the last meals that I understand and perfectly suits the one who requested it. Wournos is someone you never want to come across and have a fight. Though I don't think she would really do it purposely but still, she is completely trouble. Look at her request, a black coffee. Nothing more, nothing less.
RONNIE LEE GARDNER
In 2010, Gardner was executed by a firing squad because of robbery and shooting a man in the face that killed him.
"Lobster tail, steak, apple pie, vanilla ice cream, 7-Up while watching Lord of the Rings"
This guy is fancy. Just by looking at his last meal, it clearly shows how he like fancy stuff. This is like a meal that you would expect in a three to a four-star restaurant in New York or in a Las Vegas casino. And he is really a cool guy I think. He watched Lord of the Rings before death. Like what did he expect? He'll go in there before death? But no offense, Lord of the Rings is awesome. And I don't blame him for that.
