ATMORE, Ala. (AP) — Anti-government extremist George Sibley Jr. nodded to his relatives, stared at his victim's family and gave a final statement of defiance before he was executed Thursday for the 1993 shooting death of an Opelika police officer.

"Everyone who is doing this to me is guilty of a murder," Sibley said.

"My sister and my niece, I want to express my love and gratitude ... and gratitude to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ," Sibley said after being strapped to a gurney for the lethal injection to begin.

Officials at Holman Prison near Atmore said Sibley died at 6:26 p.m. The execution was carried out after the U.S. Supreme Court denied Sibley's request for a delay and Gov. Bob Riley turned down Sibley's request for a six-month postponement.

1. "... my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ..."

Always a death row favorite.

"Everyone who is doing this to me is guilty of a murder," Sibley said.

Yes, that's why your death certificate will say homocide is the cause of death. Deal with it.

2. "The police officer was gunned down by both in a Wal-Mart parking lot..."

Now why doesn't that surprise me?

5. Won't he be surprised when he gets to the Pearly Gates

and Jesus tells him that He doesn't appreciate scumbags like Sibley using His name to try to excuse their miserable existences, just before He casts the lying bastard into the Fiery Pit.
