The execution had been blocked by a federal court, but the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday overruled it, just as it had done in another case on Tuesday, once again putting the federal government back in the business of executing prisoners.
Purkey was pronounced dead at 8:19 a.m. EDT at the Justice Department’s execution chamber at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, the spokeswoman, Kristie Breshears said by phone. Before Tuesday, when the Justice Department executed convicted killer Daniel Lee in Terre Haute, the federal government had only executed three people since 1963, all from 2001 to 2003.
Frankly - I prefer Sparky
Imagine that floor , being the last thing you see before you’re strapped to your death bed
I love the bleeding hearts. They always bleed for the wrong people. If you put half the effort into defending children against rapists i’d be impressed.
That we know of.
I support the death penalty in theory but find that the justice system is too flawed to have it in practice.
Wait what do you want he US to do about the death penalty, you just want them to let these people live after what they have done to hurt another family?
Wheres the footage? Sounds like you’re stirring the pot!
All these people say they are against the death penalty. If someone raped and killed their family member, I bet they wouldn't feel that way anymore. I'm for the death penalty. This guy deserved this.
Good!!!!
Some people just need to be put down... '...Jennifer Long, the 16-year-old girl raped and murdered by Purkey in Missouri 1994...' Good riddance.
By bye
Great. Let’s do some more.
As I am against abortion, I am also against the death penalty too. That said, I don't like to make light of this, but I totally thought that was some kind of fancy massage table.
Good! Hose that MTHFKR off, and get it ready to go again! “Mr. Raz Simone”, of Black Lives Matter in Seattle, Washington! Mr. Simone handed out AR-15s in CHOP, and shortly after three murders occurred.
17 you say?
Who's up for a deadpool on who's next?
Good. Fuck him. He was a monster.
I pray for his soul. Prayers for the family of his victims.
we should have had a parade to celebrate is demise.
With modern day investigative technology we should speed up the process. Long over are the days of 'well we don't know so let's put off for half a century'. Nah test that DNA and check them phone records because them hoes are being toasted
Look what’s happened in the past 17 years. Crime has skyrocketed bc of slaps on the wrist. If this bothers you think about the 16 year old whose life he snuffed out. Punishment has to fit the crime.
Boston bomber next?
He raped, killed, dismembered and burnt a teenager. Months later he killed a grandmother with a hammer. I’m not going to lose any sleep over this one.
Kill everyone on death row and reduce prison populations.
Video or it didn’t happen...
I hope it was painful for him
Gross.
Maybe if these executions were televised it would be a deterrent 😡
Honestly before I read the caption I swore this was a big ass grill. I got kinda scared
This looks like Darth Vader’s personal massage table. The designed tile floor really gives it a nice touch.

Wesley Purkey was a pedophile child rapist and murder. Everyone should be furious it took this long for justice to be done.
Second including me, right?
We’re back baby
Pedófilos, nazistas, comunistas, homens que praticam violência contra idosos, apoiadores das drogas, e outros assassinos poderiam ser executados também.
Murder is not justice. This disgusting practice is a clear sign of an uncivilised country.
Why is this a story? Idc what this third world country is doing. I'm sick of hearing about their millions of problems.
When does realDonaldTrump get his turn (for negligent homicide over 100k people)
