Adios, Sammy

Tonight’s the night, roughly between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m. CST. The mass murderer joins his rapacious sons in hell. Hangman, set your knot.

UPDATE  It’s over. Happened close to 9 p.m. CST, near as I can figure out from the various reports, including this one. Good riddance. Through the wonder (?) of the Internet, here’s a (not especially gruesome) cell phone video of Sammy taking the fall. Youtube may not leave it up too long. It showed that the knot didn’t seem to be set too close to his left ear, as if maybe the executioner wasn’t too concerned about breaking his neck quickly. But the last scene suggests, by the tilt of his head, that it worked correctly after all. So he got off easier than some of his victims.
