good talk

On December 29, 1977, Jesse Walter Bishop (Mar.1, 1933 to Oct. 22, 1979) was Robbing the Cashier's Cage at the El Morocco Casino in Las Vegas when he was interrupted by a Pit Boss who engaged him in a Gun Battle in which both were wounded, neither fatally.  During the Affray, David Ballard, "22," hearing the Gunfire unfortunately left his own Wedding Reception to see what was going on.  Bishop whirled and Coldly Gunned-Down Ballard.  In 1951, Jesse Bishop was an "18-year-old" Paratrooper in the American Army fighting in Korea, suffering a Severe Wound, Jesse was treated with heavy doses of Morphine for the Pain.  After the Injury Healed, Jesse was left with a Morphine Addiction which led to a Heroin Addiction.  Of the next 26 Years, 20 were spent in Prison and the Rest outside of the Law, mostly Armed Robberies to feed his habit.  You Dolts are so-fond of this War-Thing due to your Sick-Desire to see Others Suffer and Die.  Of the American Boys who go into the Military some are Killed, but Many More of Them Gain Shattered Lives and Share this Misery from their Misadventure.  Had Jesse Bishop never gone into the Army, his Life and the Lives of Those Affected by Him would have been Merrier.  Sentenced to Death, Bishop waived all Appeals saying ...They want me to snivel, I won't do it... On October 22, 1979, Jesse ate his requested meal of steak, sending his compliments to the cook (I took an interest in Jesse's Execution and a couple months later when I was in Carson City, I drove to the Maximum-Security Prison, which housed the Death Chamber, and stared at the cold-gray Walls).  Dressed in a Starched White-Shirt and Pressed Denims, Jesse Strode Purposefully to the Gas Chamber (which is a really excruciating way to die, like slow-strangulation) and was strapped-into the Chair.  When the Cyanide Pellets began to fall into the Acid, Jesse smiled and gave a thumbs-down, it took Jesse Bishop 9 minutes to die  The Warden Conceded ...He was a tough customer...
