Go back to hanging. The rope is recyclable..

I read a study somewhere a while back, and it stated that in places where hanging is done properly-long drop, short stop, or something, that it is quick and painless. I think Singapore was one of the places that has it down pat.

Just give them 100% nitrous oxide for 5-10 minutes.

They'll die laughing.

"given what these monsters put their victims through, I'd consider it divine intervention if the anesthetic didn't do its thing."

I could not agree more, especially in the case of Taylor. Taylor and his partner kidnapped a 15 year old girl waiting for a school bus, took her to a home of Taylor's mother, raped her repeatedly for 90 minutes and then stabbed her to death with two kitchen knives. Taylor, when he was caught, described in detail and with no remorse, the way she died and how he just stood there and watched it happen. He was telling it just like he watched it in a movie and was not the one who did the horrible act.

This man does not deserve any anesthetic. If it were up to me, the killers would be put to death in the same manner that they killed their victims and preferably over the same time period. But then again, I believe in justice.

The justices will not reopen the cases of Michael Taylor, a rapist and killer

I'm sure that 15 year old died real nice. /sarcasm

Oh, guess that rules out honey&the ant hive death?

What about a "beautiful death"? No food, nor water for a few weeks? The Dem's have already approved it.

The leftists are against the death penalty but are all for doctor assisted suicide. Very well. Have the criminals executed with the same drugs that are advocated for use in suicide. That should put the left in a tizzy as they explain why it isn't "cruel" to kill an elderly person because he is a burden on his family and yet is is cruel to use the same method on a criminal.

Stephen Harper, a law professor at the University of Miami, said the new challenges to the lethal injection followed the publication of a study by experts at the university in April last year which described the suffering of death row inmates given the death cocktail.

So we have some eggheads in south Florida to thank for this delayed justice. Great.

Oddly enough I have been getting notes saying well it was a delay verses stay. This article says STAY.

So what? The execution is stayed until the appeal is decided (in other words, a delay). The semantics are irrelevant.

Added suffering they say ... how do they know

Uh, that's what the trial court is for--determining the facts.

Enough of this candy-a$$ed crap. If someone committed a crime heinous enough to get the death penalty, draw and quarter them in the public square. Televise it. Make sure potential criminals know there is a real nasty end just waiting for them.

Their victims didn't get such a cushy deal, now did they?

I read the newspaper article in the KC Star today. It broke my heart for her and for the horror her parents went through. The article, to me, was a bit slanted towards not executing the murderers, but the Star is a liberal rag.

It makes me keep a much closer eye on my daughters, although they complain, they know I am doing it for their own good. I pray for her parents and hope that God will give them some comfort and they only remember the good times that they had with her.

I've heard that drowning isn't that bad.

But no first hand knowledge?

Did someone who drowned come back to tell ya?

I say, if they don't think that the anaesthesia is working, stick 'em with a pin to see if they flinch. No flinch, proceed with the sentence.
