No, no you're both wrong. Wile. E. Coyote gets a four second trial, guilty as fuck, thrown in jail. Then he spends three minutes going through all the stages of grief, fails to off himself when a cellmate saves his life. He processes his life's struggles, forgives himself! Goes to his own execution totally at peace. That's when he sees Road Runner in the viewing gallery. Totally comes undone, loses his shit at the very end. Meep meep! Runs away, circle out to credits. That's how it's done.
Nah, they'll have him in the chair after one slide transition where his surprised frown stays on screen the whole time, and he'll still be getting shocked intermittenly when it goes credits.
So, on a scale of "pluto the dog" to "mickey mouse", how human/sentient is Wile E. Coyote? Would be kinda fucked up to start just randomly strapping coyotes on the electric chair for killing birds.
Given his extensive dealings with acme, I have to imagine he's at least somewhat more sentient than a house pet (ignoring that time a streamer's fish committed credit card fraud)

And then of course, given that the coyote is a cartoon character as well, it'll take them a decade of trying and comically failing to execute him.

I think it's just generic southwest, I would say more Arizona/Utah then anything else.

Specifically Monument Valley on the Arizona side of the AZ/UT border.

Somehow this is the second time in an hour I've seen a reference to this news story, how? Do we have similar YouTube algorithms or something?

Idk about your youtube algo, did you watch a video about it? I just remember the story from when it happened a few years ago

Yes, but it also points out how asshole-design software is oriented towards one-click buying

He's a lot like Ralph the Wolf visually, and Ralph talks and punches a time card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECa1toPGth4
