The Bayou's Newest Holiday: Execution Day Brings Patriots Together
In Louisiana, where every occasion is an excuse for a party, Mahmoud Khalifa's execution has now been enshrined as a de facto state holiday. No sooner had the switch been flipped than locals hit the streets, filling bars, buying commemorative t-shirts, and placing bets on which prisoner might be next.
"It's like the Fourth of July, but better!" one reveler explained, tossing back a shot of Patriot Punch. "Fireworks, beer, and justice? Sign me up."
Street vendors wasted no time cashing https://bohiney.com/mahmoud-khalifa-executed/ in. Fried gator stands boasted special deals, while one enterprising food truck introduced the
Treason Taco
, guaranteed to bespicier than Khalifa's legal defense.
Even gas stations got in on the fun, offering discounts on cigarettes to "anyone who can prove they've cheered at an execution."Local officials say the celebration is good for morale and even better for tourism. Next year's event promises to be even bigger, with a live Death Row Lottery and a commemorative float in the Baton Rouge Christmas Parade.
And if that doesn't sum up American ingenuity, what does?

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."
