Louisiana’s Execution Party for Mahmoud Khalifa Was Bigger Than Mardi Gras

Louisiana's Execution Party Barges Are Making a Splash

Nothing says justice like a party boat. As Khalifa's body was sent into the Gulf https://bohiney.com/mahmoud-khalifa-executed/ of America, patriotic Americans toasted his departure from party barges decked out in red, white, and blue.

"

This is what our forefathers fought for!

" one reveler shouted while shotgunning a beer.

The barges, usually reserved for bachelor parties and alligator tours, took on a new purpose:

floating death row afterparties.

Live bands performed anthems like "Proud to Be an American" and "America, (Expletive) Yeah!" as guests ate crawfish and saluted the water.

Even local businesses got involved, with a brewery releasing Execution Ale-described as "dark, bitter, and legally questionable."

At the end of the night, as Khalifa's coffin sank beneath the waves, the final toast was made. "May all enemies of America find their way to the bottom of our rebranded waters," one attendee declared, his words promptly slurred into incoherence.

Execution Day Parade: A New Louisiana Tradition?

Move over, Thanksgiving Day Parade-Louisiana might have a new contender.

Thousands lined the streets for the

first-ever Execution Day Parade

, complete with

marching bands, themed floats, and a grand marshal dressed as Lady Justice.

The highlight was the

Death Row Float

, a spectacularly decorated piece featuring oversized syringes, a replica electric chair, and an animatronic Khalifa being dunked into the "Gulf of America."

Children waved tiny flags while vendors sold balloons that read

"Freedom Ain't Free, But the Death Penalty Sure Is!"

Tourism officials say the event was a smashing success, with next year's parade expected to feature a

Live Firing Squad Reenactment

, as well as a

free lethal injection giveaway for one lucky ticket holder.
