"Yeah. The only statement I want to make is that I am an innocent man - convicted of a crime I did not commit. I have been persecuted for 12 years for something I did not do. From God's dust I came and to dust I will return - so the earth shall become my throne. I gotta go, road dog. I love you Gabby. [Remaining portion of statement omitted due to profanity.]" beyond words.

If they're commiting to publish a man's last words before killing him, I wish they kept the profanity in. Either it was generic profanity and it's not as if it would cause harm at this point. Either it was very specifically pointed at Gabby, and a at least a summary of the profanity would be useful to that person.

  It's absolutely bizarre killing a human being is A-OK, but profanity is too far.

    >It's absolutely bizarre killing a human being is A-OK, but profanity is too far. That's not a new idea. It was addressed, at some length, in Apocalypse Now[0]. This YouTube clip[1] from that movie addresses your point directly, but the movie as a whole has even more to say about the value of human life, IMHO.

  We're too civilized to print profanity, but not so civilized that we shirk from killing people.

This one is brutal because there's a huge amount of evidence that that man (Cameron Willingham) was falsely convicted on the basis of a dodgy arson investigation. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/innocence/executed-but-possibly-innocent#Cameron_Willingham https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/innocence/execute...
