Are the statements from black dudes full of words they made up as they went along?  Cause they'll do that, yup.

There are bound to be a few non-blacks, given the law of large numbers.

They are equal opportunity executioners in Texas.  The race of the offender is listed on the site; there are black, white and Hispanic but, curiously, no Asians. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Computer and mathematics-related crimes are not punishable by death.  Even in Texas. I know... hard to believe, right? :)

If I'm ever convicticated of capitol murdarh in the good ole state of texas, them's definitatively my finalsome words.  :lol:

Now I'm not suggesting we do this, but I think it's conceivable for a forum member to contact a Texas death row inmate & send him (or his family or whomever) $100 for him to make those his last words, forever immortalized in the web :ph34r:

They have "other", though. A Samoan who raped and killed his 9 year old girl cousin and a South Vietnamese who shot two other Vietnamese in the "Tam Game Room".

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

If the education level listed means that he had the educational achievements expected of an 11 year old, I am not entirely surprised that his last words appear somewhat uncaring both of his crime and of his fate.

I'm sorry. I'm too busy staring at the luciousness of your avatar. Your words are as silent whispers in the wind.

I am overjoyed at you approbation of my avatar.

I understand the desire to have these people come to some kind of grand realization on the eve of their final passing, but really to expect much in terms of wisdom from these inmates is foolish.

Just an emotional response from me, but this sounds like a mix of reading someone's diary and watching snuff porn to me. I guess not my cup of tea. Enjoy your fun, though. :)
Diaries that have been published and snuff porn without any snuff or porn.
