Last week, in a small room in a Utah penitentiary,Donnie Lee Gardner was executed for his crimes against society - probably no big loss there. What makes this particularly newsworthy is the fact that Gardner selected firing squad over lethal injection as his preferred method of execution. The REALLY newsworthy part of this is this may have been the first execution that was caught on Twitter.Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff tweeted "I just gave the go ahead to Corrections Director to proceed with Gardner's execution. May God grant him the mercy he denied his victims." This was the extent of the message the news media shared; however, according to reliable sources, the Attorney General went on to tweet "and I had the burrito of a lifetime at lunch. Man, I need some Beano - stat! LOL!"
