Buh bye.
Give the bastard the last ride! Get it over with!
1978? *sigh*
What will he get for his last meal?...............
It’s gotta’ be 4 o’clock somewhere . . . pull the switch!
1978?!
Not rushing into anything, are they?
I am tired of the push for painless execution. The ban on “Cruel and unusual” does not necessarily exclude all pain. When I rip a Band-Aid off a child’s knee, that will sting for a moment, but it doesn’t violate the Constitution, not even if a prison guard does it. When I spray Bactine on the same knee and it stings, that is also not covered by “cruel and unusual”. So long as there is no intent to inflict excess pain, we can constitutionally use gas, firing squad, rope, electricity, or just about any chemical cocktail. The point is to kill someone richly deserving of that penalty in a manner that is not intended to cause pain too, with the goal of permanently removing a dangerous threat from society. Even without knowing the unknowable details, any responsible person knows that the new drugs are constitutional.
Buh bye.
I see no reason, humanitarian, moral, or otherwise, why the state can’t execute someone unless it is absolutely painless to them.
Gas chamber, electric chair, lethal injection were all attemptes to get a more humanitarian way of killing someone. THERE IS NO HUMANITARIAN WAY OF KILLING SOMEONE.
Bring back hanging and the firing squad. In you actually insist the process must be completely painless, then legalize a large caliber, high power, bullet to the head.
A little messy, perhaps, but the executee won’t mind.
They’ve been farting around with this guy for 33 years. What a joke!
Absolutely pathetic. 34 years to rid the planet of this piece of crap? This is justice?
