[Slings and Arrows]

Man, Freepers are just full of good ideas today!

[dfwgator]

Dropped from a helicopter at 10,000 feet. Perfectly painless, but unfortunately, not terror-free.

Waste of fuel and helicopters are prone to accidents.

[Red in Blue PA]

A firing squad is the best of all possible worlds.

It is humane, quick, cheap and also sends a message if the body is left on display.

[Slings and Arrows]

> I think of Kill Bill scene where Bud shot Bride full of Rock salt in Kill Bill Vol 2

Give ‘em a proper burial and let the execution take care of itself?

[cripplecreek]

A trip to Planned Parenthood.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Waste of fuel and helicopters are prone to accidents.

Oh, bugger. In that case, nitrogen asphyxiation. Or long-drop hanging. Or hand them over to ISIS.

[EvilCapitalist]

Why not public hangings? The state could sell tickets.

[Vic S]

Dropped from a helicopter at 10,000 feet. Perfectly painless, but unfortunately, not terror-free. Waste of fuel and helicopters are prone to accidents.

Use balloons that pop at about 10,000 feet.

[kalee]

Sideline opportunity for PP.

[yarddog]

If I had to be executed, I think I would choose the firing squad if they gave me a choice.

They probably would not let you choose old age.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Get a murder—and let his own exicution be waved as long as he becomes an exicutioner. Give him a lead pipe and let him bash the condemed in the head—quick.

[metmom]

Lead.

Right between the eyes.

[umgud]

We successfully put folks out for surgeries in every hospital in America. We could certainly do this for prisoners. Once out, the possibilities are endless.

Also, don’t forget that we can’t dispense cruel or unusual punishment, but nowhere did I see a guarantee of a painless execution.

[SevenofNine]

Yeah Texas Funeral bingo LOL!

[SevenofNine]

Yup tell you one thing Freepers are pretty creative today ROFL

[servantboy777]

I’m thinking, the murderer be killed the same way he/she killed their victim. Shot in the face...death by shot to the face.

Slice the victims throat...well.

Sounds gruesome and cruel, but if your state was known for putting to death the guilty by the same means they inflicted on their victims, I believe it would be quite the deterrent.

[Secret Agent Man]

Not explosives. Just fill the vest with tannerite.

[Darksheare]

give them tainted soft tacos and two cases of beer.
Play a crossmix of miley cyrus and rebecca black as they begin the process..

[crz]

Do it like they do in Russia. The executioner simply walks into the cell and puts a bullet into the head of the con.

They get to sit in their cell and wait, never knowing when its coming. Every time someone walks down the hall they wonder if times up.

[taxcontrol]

Nitrogen Asphyxiation - cheap, no mess, painless, environmentally friendly.
