That would not be “cruel and unusual” under the Constitution. So long as this was the standard means, it would not be unusual. Since the death would not include the intentional infliction of pain, it does not legally qualify as cruel. Of course, that is only if we read the Constitution as meaning what it says and not as a “living” document that means whatever the thugs on the left want that week. I approve of death by N2 asphyxiation.
(Too bad I'm at work, or I would photoshop O's face on this)
Why not use what Hospice has found painless and effective- morphine.
Nitrogen? Maybe if the person was thrown into a tub of frozen liquid nitrogen. Flash frozen.
Nitrogen asphyxiation is the same as passing out. You lose peripheral vision, your reaction time slows, just like alcohol poisoning. However, with a sudden flood of nitrogen, you would pass out completely in about 20 seconds.
It would be very easy to learn from emergency responders and workers who have been rescued from oxygen deficient atmospheres whether there is any pain or suffering. From everything I’ve read, there isn’t.
—I say will kill them exactly the way
—they killed their victim.
Variant on a Eye for a Eye...
Does that work for Rape also?
Ouch
Has the guillotine ever failed?
I mean, if it’s good enough for our livestock...
How about hanging? A properly-conducted hanging is easy, simple, quick, and relatively painless. It doesn’t take much skill or practice, doesn’t require medical personnel, nor dealing with firearms, nor dealing with sophisticated equipment. Just a sufficiently-long length of rope, a horizontal beam, and enough room to drop to make it effective.
Executions should be subcontracted to the local dog pound.
Dogs are being put down every day so I don’t understand how they can be out of the chemical. Or would it be politically incorrect to use the same chemical. I can hear the whining now.
What about exsanguination? That would be relatively cheap, quick, and no pain.
The fact that there is so much discussion of this is evidence of the value of human life and the human body’s built-in aversion to death.
The firing squad, for all of its dramatic excess of noise and physical damage, is hard to beat for quickness.
