What’s wrong with rope?
Firing squad. Very effective.
I always thought the electric chair was particularly effective.
“Lack of lethal-injection drug means Florida must develop new execution procedure”
IIRC all they really needed to do in the first place was fix the short in “Ol Sparky”.
Strap them down and starve them to death. That was deemed humane by Florida courts.
Obamma announced that he’s launching a government run drug research and production facility. My take is that he’s combining chemotherapy drugs with potassium chloride in order to prescribe better end of life care. So as to die quietly, I think he’ll take up the manufacture of sodium thipental, filling the donut hole per se.
Maybe they can have a contest and invite suggestions by the victim’s families?
Or go green and fire up ol’ sparky with solar power. Fortunately the prisoner may have to simmer slowly if it’s a cloudy day.
I like the Chinese method. Bullet to the back of the brain and charge the family of the executed for the bullet.
I Highly recommend the high velocity version of Lead Poisoning
i’m ok with a 2-ton cement cylinder suspended over a chamber.
it’s reusable.
just trying to be green here :)
That is a liberal paradox huh? I love it!
I personally like the eastern europe free range method. All the vodka you can drink, in a clearing with running wood chippers.
It's alway's sunny in Florida!
Personally, I advocate giving the condemned an injection of about 10 times the LD100 for their body weight of a barbiturate. Same method used for putting down cats. It works, and given that we give non-lethal doses of the same sedatives in medical settings and no one complains they were cruelly treated by their physicians afterward, the “cruel and unusual” legal challenges would be really hard.
Oddly I was discussing this issue with a colleague just a few days ago. He advocated “a bullet to the base of the brain”, pointing out that the Nazis, who (bizarrely) thought a lot about humane methods for execution favored this method as painless (to the one dying). My colleague who made this suggestion is Jewish, and from his demeanor and what I know of his politics was not making the suggestion as an ironic way of advocating the abolition of capital punishment.
(And yes, the Nazis, not out of any compassion for their victims, but out of a concern that their executioners would turn into sadists and be impossible to reintegrate into the civilian society of the “Thousand Year Reich” once “racial purity” had been attained, did give a lot of thought to humane execution methods.)
Well put.
Um...stake them out in the middle of the everglades and let gators have at ‘em?
How about feeding time at Gatorland.
