Best Bad*** Last Words Uttered

Feuer Frei! · 02-27-11, 09:15 AM

I'll start with some:

"Hurry up, you Hoosier bastard, I could kill ten men while you're fooling around!" - serial killer Carl Panzram, before his execution.

"I am not going. Do with me what you like. I am not going. Come on! Come on! Take action! Let's go!" - Chief Sitting Bull

"Hurrah for anarchy! This is the happiest moment of my life." - union activist George Engel, before his hanging.

"More weight." - Giles Corey, while being crushed to death for witchcraft.

"Hey, fellas! How about this for a headline for tomorrow's paper: 'French Fries'?" - murderer James French, while in the electric chair.

"I know you've come to kill me. Shoot, you are only going to kill a man."
- communist revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara.

"Take a step forward, lads. It'll be easier that way." - Irish nationalist Robert Erskine Childers, while before his firing squad.

"I'll be in Hell before you start breakfast! Let her rip!" - murderer Tom Ketchum.

"Now, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies." - Voltaire, when asked to renounce Satan on his deathbed.

"Codeine...bourbon." - actress Tallulah Bankhead.

"I just wish I had time for one more bowl of chili." - pioneer Kit Carson

Any great famous last words from someone that you remember?

Rodgers, James W. ( -1960) [American criminal] "Why yes, a bulletproof vest!" (On his final request before the firing squad.)

Sedgwick, John (1813-1864) "Nonsense, they couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." (In response to a suggestion that he should not show himself over the parapet during the Battle of the Wilderness.)

Now why did I do that?
General William Erskine, after he jumped from a window in Lisbon, Portugal in 1813.

I always liked, "Are you guys ready? Let's roll."
- last recorded words of Todd Beamer, one of the passengers on United Flight 93 who tried to get to the cockpit

I'll prolly think of more later.

"Ain't losing your nerve, are you Joe?"
-Tom Horn, legendary indian fighter and scout, to county clerk Joseph Cahill, who helped him mount the scaffold at his hanging for a murder he may not have committed.

I always thought that was one of the more gritty ways to go out.
