Every inmate put to death in the US is afforded the opportunity to say last words. Some apologize, some express anger or words of love for family. Glen Rogers had a message for President Trump.

A serial killer used his last words on Earth to shout-out President Donald Trump on Thursday.

"President Trump, keep making America great. I'm ready to go," Glen Rogers, known as the "Casanova Killer," said as he lay strapped to an execution gurney seconds before three drugs coursed through his veins and ended his life at the Florida State Prison in Raiford.

Couldn't help but be reminded of the Simpsons joke:

FoxNews: Not racist but, but #1 with racists.

If you've got serial killers using their last words to praise you, you might want to reevaluate everything you stand for.

Trump thinks Hannibal Lecter 'was' a great man. So, his inability to separate fact from fiction aside, you can only assume he's all good with serial killers, will be happy to be praised by them, and will continue to not reevaluate, or initially evaluate, anything.

It puts the cheeto dust on its skin, or else it gets the fact checking again!

#1 with psychopaths.

What a great way to honor Trump. I call on all MAGA to make the same sacrifice this man made to the great DJT. The lord will guide you to his heaven light because you took in his 2nd son.

Are you suggesting an auto-rapture?

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

What a lovely day that would be

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 25 points 7 months ago

Well that's certainly a way to use your last words.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

It's a little bit like Satan telling someone he's a big fan of their work.

i'd have reversed the roles

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I wouldn't be surprised if he did this primarily to make the news.

Serial killers often have this desire to be remembered. The same desire that Trump has.

Trump and serial killers have a hell of a lot in common, right down to their pathologies.

Probably the most significant difference between Trump and your garden variety serial killer is that Trump is responsible for countless more deaths.

Well, that, and when you hear their neighbors talk about serial killers, they always say, "I never would have believed it was him." But if you opened a closet at Trump's home, and found it stacked with dead bodies, you'd say, "I always suspected he had a closet like this."

Authorities connected five victims to the Casanova Killer. Four of them were mothers with reddish hair in their 30s. Three of the murders happened within a six-day period.

Mark Peters, a 72-year-old retired electrician in Hamilton, Ohio, with whom Rogers lived with briefly, was found dead in a shack owned by Rogers' family in January 1994 in Beattyville, Kentucky.

Sandra Gallagher, a 33-year-old mother of three, of Santa Monica, California, killed on Sept. 28, 1995 in Van Nuys. Her body was found in her burning vehicle. She had met Rogers in a bar the night of her murder.

Linda Price, a 34-year-old mother of two, found stabbed to death in the bathtub of her home in Jackson, Mississippi, on Nov. 3, 1995. Price briefly lived with Rogers, telling her mother: "He is my dream man," according to an archived story in the Dayton Daily News.

Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two, found stabbed to death in a Tampa, Florida hotel bathtub on Nov. 7, 1995. Like Gallagher, she had met Rogers at a bar on the night of her murder.

Andy Lou Jiles Sutton, a 37-year-old mother of four: three sons and a daughter who were 19, 17, 8, and 6 when she was found stabbed to death in her bed on Nov. 9, 1995 in of Bossier City, Louisiana. Sutton and Rogers met before her murder and are believed to have slept together.

what an evil evil person, what the hell goes through their minds

"My only regret is that as a felon I can't vote for Trump" apparently

[-] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 14 points 7 months ago

I suppose people won’t see the irony of the rapist, convicted fraudster, impeached president’s policies being endorsed by a serial killer.

This tells a lot about Trump's supporters
