AUSTIN — With lethal injection drugs in short supply nationwide, one Texan offered Gov. Greg Abbott what he called a straightforward, low-cost, pain-free alternative to execute murderers in Texas.
“After administering a strong sedative,” he wrote in an email, “just drain blood until they have bled to death.”
Other letter writers suggested carbon monoxide poisoning as a painless approach — maybe even more humane than lethal injection.
A firing squad could save the state money, wrote one man from a Houston suburb.

The most popular suggestion, perhaps not surprisingly in gun-loving Texas, was the firing squad. Peter Sabino of Montgomery volunteered to form a squad himself “if legal or applicable.”

Wood chipper,100 ton stamping press,any number of farm implements,there’s lots of ways to consider.
Why?
It's just like blood donation except you don't stop at one unit. An advantage is no need for orange juice and cookies at the end.
Yep, swing from a rope. Cheap and easy. But according to liberals the condemned must depart in a safe(?) and painless way.
Hasn’t the gas chamber already been done? Certainly has for animals.
Why not just a bullet?
I still personally prefer the hanging gallows. Public, at least by invitation anyway.

Scott: What, are you feedin' him? Why don't you just kill him?
Dr. Evil: No, Scott, I have a better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.
Scott: Why don't you shoot him now? I mean, come on, I'll go get a gun. We'll shoot 'im together. It'll be fun. BANG! Dead. Done.
Dr. Evil: One more peep out of you and you are grounded, mister! And I am not joking!
Firing squad has one benefit. It can be a real moneymaker. Raffle off the shooting slots.
The Chinese have another way-
They put them under general anesthesia and remove their organs and drain their blood. Then sell the organs.
Bobby ‘Bacala’ Baccalieri: I mean, our line of work, it’s always out there. You probably don’t even hear it when it happens, right?
OH MAN you have to be Texan think that Blazing Saddle take LOL!
Just get some canine insulin (it’s the same as human insulin) from the nearest vet for $20 a vial and give them a massive does of insulin. Quick, painless and effective. Not to mention cheap.l
Only in spirit, alas.
Little concerned about someone wanting to profit on a execution.
Do it free. Let the victims family put on in the back of the head. 22 will do fine.
Dropped from a helicopter at 10,000 feet. Perfectly painless, but unfortunately, not terror-free.
I think of Kill Bill scene where Bud shot Bride full of Rock salt in Kill Bill Vol 2
Ship ‘em off to Planned Parenthood-—prolly looking for new body parts.
