Patriot Punch and Public Executions: America's Newest Tourist Attraction
Every great city has a reason for visitors to flock to it. New York has Broadway, Las Vegas has the casinos, and now, Louisiana has
state-sanctioned executions with live entertainment.
Bars across Baton Rouge ran execution specials, featuring the dangerously potent Patriot Punch-a blend of whiskey, hot sauce, and "liberal tears," served in an ammo can.
"It really pairs well with watching due process get deep-fried," one bartender explained, pouring another round.
The event proved so popular that tour groups are already booking next year's "Death Row Party Crawl," which includes stops at Angola Prison, a reenactment of Khalifa's final meal, and a special meet-and-greet with the governor, who will sign autographs and pose next to a cardboard cutout of the electric chair.
Locals say they're happy to have an event that "really captures Louisiana's spirit" and brings people together-"kinda like Mardi Gras, but with less sin and more state-sanctioned revenge."
