I'll vote for whatever that is.

CRUCIFIXTION I believe, is the worst, acording to the history books....

How about (If Guilty) dropping this
guy off in the center of Antarctica.

Let mother nature take care of this guy.

I dunno either, but here's a suggestion:
Dip the sicko in a bath of dilute hydrofluoric acid. This acid penetrates through the skin and seeks calcium... it begins to dissolve the bones. Most victims die of heart failure somewhere along the way.

The simple, economical method: stake him out in the desert, naked atop a bed of broken glass. The ants would probably help finish him off.

Crucifixion is an option.

I vote for fire ants. Stake this POS on a fire ant bed.

Fire ants

Symptoms

Some people experience a generalized allergic reaction to a fire ant sting including hives, swelling, nausea, vomiting, and shock. People exhibiting these symptoms after being stung should seek medical attention immediately. Death can occur in hypersensitive people.

The sting is characterized by a severe burning sensation. Each sting usually results in the formation of a pustule within 6 to 24 hours. The majority of stings are uncomplicated, but secondary infections may occur if the pustule is broken, and scars may last for several months. Severe infections requiring skin grafting or amputation have been known to occur. Sensitive individuals can swell up as a result of stings and occasionally die.

Reaction to fire ant stings is similar to reaction to the stings of bees, wasps, hornets and yellow jackets. The overwhelming majority of fire ant stings are medically uncomplicated, but evidence shows that people hypersensitive to fire ants are more likely to be hypersensitive to other venomous insects.

Anyone stung and displaying marked symptoms of hives, weakness, dizziness, wheezing, shortness of breath or confusion should be given immediate medical attention.

No. A .22 LR behind the ear will do. Or just put him in general population.

Well, the old Chinese "death by inches" was incredibly brutal. Took a looooong time, too. That is a good option.

Merry Olde England used the horrific "drawn and quartered" for enemies of the crown.

Then, again, Tsarist Russia had some pretty incredible punishments for counterfeiters.

I vote for whichever one provides the most advantageous camera angles.

Crucifixion......NO peg or step.
