Christa Pike, as the reports say, is now up and walking. She shouldn’t be, because she was given two rounds of lethal injection, but, by some miracle (?) she is.

The Tennessee death row inmate was supposed to calmly go into the night after being sentenced to death for killing a classmate in a jealous rage in January of 1995. Instead, she was heard snoring and later rushed to medical attention. Despite being unable to move her arms due to blown-out veins and having limited mobility, Pike got out of the hospital bed yesterday. She apparently wavers between lucidity and confusion.

She is angry and confused about everything right now. She is very aware that the state tried to execute her.”

Oh, she is angry? This is what Pike’s attorney, Randall Spivey, told reporters after a court hearing yesterday. She is angry. What says the family of Colleen Slemmer? What says Colleen Slemmer? Oh, right. She is not available for comment. She was lured into the woods, dragged, beaten till her face was unrecognizable, stripped from the waist up, slashed, had a pentagram carved on her chest and brutally left for dead. Why? Because Christa Pike was a jealous little girl acting out of pure rage. I’m sorry, but, I am having a hard time with this “she’s angry” bit.

Yes because we really care about the feelings of a murdering psychopath.

Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented. Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery.”- Randall Spivey

Handcuffed and shackled as she she should be. But her arms are sore, says her attorney. They endured severe damage. Excuse me while I whip out my tiny violin. Again, shall we talk about the severe damage her victim succumbed to? How sore were Colleen Slemmer’s arms when she tried to fight off this witch? Shall we discuss the severe fractures and damage Slemmer’s family endured for years?

She has no remorse. She’s never had any remorse in 31 years.”-May Martinez, Colleen Slammer’s mother

Pike killed Slemmer for “running her mouth” and “trying to take her man” in 1995. You know…she “just felt mean that day“.

And she is still angry. Read: she defeated death and she still has no remorse. No gratitude for God sparing her life. None. A waste of space on this earth.

She has an anger problem, clearly. She's a murderer.

Perhaps Christa Pike is angry that the execution team dod not finish the job. They utterly failed at the assignment they were given. Or, did they? A judge recently ordered Tennessee officials to preserve syringes and other evidence. Pike was administered two doses of pentobarbital using at least 7 needles. One of these needles came out of her arm bent at a 90-degree angle. Okay, in a word, ouch. But sympathy for the devil incarnate? I have none.

Demons do not go willingly

No, they do not. I suspect this will drag on forever. Christa Pike will have her “long recovery”. She will be a drain on the state of Tennessee. Residents will pay for her medical care and rehabilitation. People will set up GoFundMe’s and the left will argue that the Death Penalty is inhumane. The only silver lining in this is that Christa Pike’s hell on earth is prolonged by inhibited function, frustration and personal self-loathing. But, considering the woman has not had much in the way of mental acuity (stable humans don’t kill other humans) or any remorse in 31 years, I doubt this is the case.

Good that she is fairly with it, but she’s also somewhat foggy. She can lose her train of thought really easily and forgets where she’s going.”-Stephen Ferrell, attorney for Christa Pike

I can’t with these lawyers. Yay, Christa! You’re up and “with it”! Mr. Ferrell? Christa Pike was never “with it”. Killing another human being in an animalistic ritual and (animals are actually better beings) fit of jealous rage is not a sign of someone who is “with it” at all. If one can lose their train of thought to the point of paranoia and anger, prompting them to torture and kill another person and carve a demonic symbol on their chest, that person is not “with it”. That person is sick. So, spare me the cheerleading squad for satan.

Forgive me, because I’m feeling a little mean today. Christa Pike forgets where she is going?! That’s hilarious. Most of us know where she is going…eventually.

And, as the saying goes…third time’s a charm.
