Or how about lethal injection fired from a firing squad?
One I went to years ago had a .22 rifle. Pop them in the ear or whatever. I did hear some pigs being slaughtered over in Thailand in the very early morning. Based on the screams, I think they just slit their throats. Nice sound to wake up to ...
I’ve always been partial to that pretty Kraut 88.
.223 is even cheaper and works just as well from a few feet away.
...Why not find out how they do it.....
It’s a pressurised hydraulic piston popped into the head.
I'd have the warden bring the Swedish Bikini Team to my cell, and then.....
Anything to delay the inevitable.
A firing squad is too honorable for a criminal.
It’s a soldier’s death.
How about a Claymore strapped to his chest?Should be 100% effective.
I love the firing squad option— ON TV!! I am tired of this injection crap. Shoot em in the head — no delay there.
Reminds me of Gary Gilmore.
Bolt gun
Of course it is a ploy. No matter what method a state chooses, the defense lawyer will claim that method is cruel and unusual. That is why I say the law should give the condemned murderer his choice from a list of approved options.
Of course, then his lawyer will claim that every one of the methods is cruel and unusual, but that would be a pretty transparent attempt to claim that the death penalty itself is unconstitutional.
The Constitution now says whatever the hell 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices want it to say, but so far a majority continue to recognize that the death penalty is expressly permitted under the Constitution, subject to the limitations that the method used cannot be “cruel and unusual” and that you cannot be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
Guillotine is probably the most humane, as gruesome as it is.
IIRC, Saddam Hussein’s head popped off when he was executed by hanging.
“Gray was convicted of killing a well-known family of four, including two young girls....”
Wood-chipper or burning tire.
Decompression chamber.
The problem with the guillotine is that your head does not die instantly and you can still be conscious for a few seconds while your head rolls around on the ground.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Being around slaughterhouses is enough to make you a vegetarian. You can hear the animals cry. They know what’s going to happen. It’s horrible.
