WHAT
exactly,
is WRONG
with a plain ole' FIRING SQUAD?

Or gallows?

Why all this dancing about with "high tech" drug-based executions?

Bullet to the head. Done...

It should have taken longer. Too many times the criminal justice system isn’t justice for the victims and their families.

You make some good points and I do think execution should be limited to those who are the worst of the worst. I know historically some pretty decent people have been executed while monsters escaped justice.

On the other hand, there are some crimes in which the blood of the victims simply cries out for justice. The Carr Brothers in Wichita for instance. Also ones like Ted Bundy.

John McCain—the Manchurian Candidate who got hisself elected to the Senate in order to KILL ANY ATTEMPTS TO GET BACK THE REMAING TWO-THIRDS OF OUR POWS.

AND we nominated him for POTUS.

Good grief.

So what if he WAS gulping? He’s dead! Where’s the “botched” part?
If they think gulping was bad, they should see what awaited him when he arrived in Hell!

What would be wrong with general anesthesia then a .22 through the brain? And a 2nd in the heart for good measure?

No suffering, no botches, quick, simple and cheap.

Of course, libtards would insist that it’s inhumane........

Innocents have been put to death.

You made that assertion a few months ago, and my response to you was "Name one".

Still waiting.

Ten story building - Off the roof.
Saves the cost of ammo or drugs.

Either do away with the death penalty and put put them in a windowless cell alone for life with no chance of parole and no extraordinary life saving efforts in their dotage or put them up against a wall and shoot them.

Everytime you shoot one, give the next one on the schedule some mortar and a trowel and have him patch the wall.

It took 25 years too long.

He murdered his victims in 1989.

Wouldn’t have lingered if they would have used Drano as suggested by one of the more compassionate relative of the victims.

“For an execution you can’t beat a bullet.”

On TV pay per view. Make up some of the money wasted on housing and defending killers.

Although a lot of the euthanasia drugs are difficult to obtain, anesthesia doesn’t seem to be (thank goodness).
*******************************
Vets seem to have a sufficient of drugs to put peoples’ pets “to sleep” when they are old, very sick or badly injured.

I doubt a survey of vets would show ‘botched’ procedures.

If it works on cats and dogs, it’ll work on humans.
