The national average for support of the death penalty had dropped to 49%. In Louisiana it's 58% with 34% opposed. A lot of folks here are jealous of Texas.

Long drop hanging is the quickest and most painless form of execution that still leaves an intact body for viewing.

A bullet and a mask are all you need.
If you want to be ‘humane’ put him to sleep - i don’t care.
Just carry out the sentence

Hmm. My last surgery they put me under with an IV in about 10 seconds. Could they have put me away forever? 💉☠. Yup. Just sayin'. Firing squad?

As someone who has had a close friend in NOLA

Raped, Brutalized, Shot and Killed
And have been in the presence of the killer

I am happy to report the murderer is dead by electrocution

Firing Squad or Hanging. Bullets and Rope are Cheap.

In order to make the Leftists happy, how about a Solar Powered Electric Chair?

I don’t understand why executions can’t be carried out with the exact same drugs that Oregon uses for euthanasia?

We can only hope.

I know in California a Death Sentence means you will outlive the judge, the lawyers and most of the jury.

And you will live in what for prison passes as luxury accommodations.

I have a friend whose husband does nothing but death row appeals. He gets paid $65K per convict plus expenses. He doesn’t care if he wins or loses so long as he keeps cranking out the paperwork, most of which is boilerplate.

At any given moment he has 4 or 5 cases going.

Why not use the same kind of device that is used to slaughter cattle?

Doesn’t an air bubble in an IV kill people? If it does, save money and just shoot them full of air.

Why deny the convict food and water until death? We were told that was such a dignified way for Terry Schiavo to die.

Since Louisiana is governed by the Napoleonic Code, they should have the guillotine.

I have never understood why they don’t convert those gas chambers into nitrogen chambers.

Instead of pumping cyanide or whatever the hell else they put into them, why don’t they just pump pure gaseous nitrogen in?

Quick. Painless. Cheap. Environmentally safe (you could probably just open a valve and release it to the environment.

Better yet, just put the criminal’s head into a full face rebreathing device and pump it full of nitrogen. You don’t need to fill an entire room.

Firing squad. Cheap, effective, not gratuitous or cruel. End the convicted decisively and let God sort them out.

Alfred Jodl was hung at Nuremburg, despite his request for a firing squad as would befit a military man. Anyone who doesn't want to be shot can be reminded that they're being afforded an honor denied to a superior-general.

A revolver with one in the chamber. Spin the chamber, put the barrel to the punks head and slowly pull the trigger. Click..........................click............click......... that alone would be cruel and inhuman. Price you pay for being a dick in society.

Wow, this sounds like a debate worth having!

Personally I’d love to see hanging again. It’s easy to set up and people can witness it easily. Would be good to have it more public - maybe more deterrent and also maybe people would start “picking sides” booing the victim and such (much like stocks did).

But if people are worried about “humanity”, why not the gas chamber? Can’t get better than that, knocked out just by breathing like laughing gas. Better than the needle.
