Then tell me why we can't use a rope or firing squad any more? Let the inmate choose: rope or bullet.
Boy, did I get hot reading an article The Long Defense of the Alabama Death-Row Prisoner Doyle Lee Hamm by some damned liberal writer for the effing New Yorker magazine.
She spewed out a long, detailed article, and NOT once...NOT ONCE! mentioned the name of the young man, Patrick Cunningham, that he murdered.
Nothing. Did his victim have a wife, parents, kids, friends who mourned him? Did his victim serve in the military, go to college, have dreams of getting ahead? NOTHING. Not a single effing word.
Boy, did that piss me off. As far as I am concerned, this scumbag and his Leftist Lawyer too should have gone to the chair together. Damn, does this make me madder than hell.
Hamm was convicted of the execution-style murder of a motel clerk. I have a hard time whipping up any sympathy for any pain he might have suffered, given the terror and suffering that his victim no doubt went through.
Air tight room. Pump it full of of pure nitrogen.
The air we breath is 78% nitrogen. We have plenty and requires no licensing and very minimal training.
No pain. No struggle. (Nothing more than a petulant child holding his breath.) Nite nite forever. Works every time it has been tried.
What was wrong with a firing squad or rope?
What’s wrong with hanging? You can even reuse the rope, so it’s economical.
I thought a botched execution automatically gave you a pardon (from execution)
I think I would be OK with that.
As long as it results in life in prison.
The memories would be probably profound.
Suggest they just withhold food and water from the condemned. We were told that was such a dignified way for Terry Schiavo to die.
Patrick Cunningham was unavailable for comment.
Pure, dry nitrogen gas is both cheap, non-toxic, and lethal. Put the condemned person in a sealed chamber, pump it full of N2 for about 15 minutes, then purge with natural air and remove the corpse.
Ok. Hang him.
Next.
Let’s see. I had C-spine surgery in Nov last year. When they knocked me out, they could have just as easily put me down forever and I wouldn’t have known a thing.
I sat in the gas chamber chair at a state prion once. That chamber is small! When the door is closed it almost touches your knees!
One bit of gallows humor: There is a permit from the EPA on the wall of the execution room stating that this facility may vent noxious gases to the atmosphere.
Stocks and/or gallows and gibbet.....fools)proof.
FReepers I look a pictures of aborted babies daily. Tell me what is “Shocking” about this?
Then tell me why we can’t use a rope or firing squad any more? Let the inmate choose: rope or bullet.
Or bring the electric chair back. Cry me a river over this....I’m not interested in his pain.... only that of his victims family.
He got FREE cancer treatment in prison? Why?
Maybe it is time to bring back the firing squad. Just to spare the guilty the trauma of needle pokes.
Unfortunately, his victim isn’t available to comment.
My arm has looked like that after a blood test.
My question is, why we’re they spending money on this guy’s cancer treatments? Let the cancer do its job, problem solved. HPpens to law abiding people with no insurance all the time, unless they’re illegals of course.
Just bury him and be done with it.
