Feet-first, with tourniquets to prevent early loss of consciousness, I presume? Yup.

TFB. The patrons in that theater didn’t want to be executed either.

There was once an attempt to do away with the “Innocent by reason of insanity” and replace it with “Guilty but insane”.

Asplundh Whisper Chipper with dull blades and bad spark plugs.

My brother works for Asplundh Tree Expert Co. as a Regional Manager and 12 years or so ago he had to over see an accident involving a worker going through one.

Was the most gruesome thing he ever saw to this day.

Nah. Treat him he treated his victims. Riddle him with bullets. Make his parents watch.

I feel no anger toward this evil monster, and I would be perfectly willing to forgive him. I still want him executed, of course, but that’s for the safety of decent people. I want him executed in a reasonably painless manner (not completely pain-free, just no intentional inflicting of unnecessary pain), since vengeance is in God’s hands, not ours, but I want him dead.

The big bonus with capital punishment is that the recidivism rate is zero. Recidivism with felons in general is 56% the first year and 77% in five years.

The killer had the ability to kill as he did, to plan and execute that plan. We now get to execute our execution plan.

Anyone who is a threat to society should be put to death as a predator they are.
