The lawyers in this case are subjecting me to horrible pain.

[oyez]

Stanley Tookie Williams may have felt horrible pain.His victims felt a worse pain and he didn't care. Its too bad that we waste time pandering to murderers. The bleeding hearts need to remember the Tookie could care less about about their pain either.

Firing squad next time.

Lawyers for another condemned inmate say Stanley Tookie Williams may have felt horrible pain.

Thanks for sharing.

Corrections officials did not dispute other points raised by the defense, including:

• There is no doctor or registered nurse on the execution team at San Quentin and there is no requirement that a registered nurse be on the team.

What idiots these lawyers are. The AMA Code of Ethics prohibits doctors from participating in executions.

They might be allowed to sign the death certificate, but that's all.

This is not good news. While there's no doubt that Tookie Williams deserves what he got, it's important that officials who carry out executions do it right. Otherwise, the radical left will use it as an excuse to get not have executions at all.

Regardless of the crimes committed, executions should not be conducted in a careless and sloppy manner.

This is at the very top of my list of "Things I don't give two sh!ts about."

At least they didn't force him to listen to loud Red Hot Chili Peppers' music at the same time.

[bboop]

That'll be a real hard one to prove.

The best thing is, he is DEAD.

The worst thing is, he didn't feel the pain his victims felt.

He should have had the exact same things done to him as were done to them.

Cry me a river.

What is the big deal with this? People are put to sleep everyday (every minute) for surgery!! For heaven's sake give them the dose and then do it. They act like this is rocket science or something.

[Captain Rhino]

All this concern about extended physical pain for the condemned criminal makes me wonder if the guillotine isn't such a bad method of execution after all. It was designed by a physician to be painless, wasn't it? If there was any objection by attorneys to the unconstitutionality of the momentary pain caused by the blade edge slicing through the prisioner's neck, you could always just drug them into complete unconsciousness before placing on the body board.

Of course, in my perfect world, the condemned would spend the night before execution with the sharpened blade visible on an upright trolley parked just outside his (or her) cell, You know, to permit them to concentrate on their coming rendezvous with death and the crimes that brought them to this pass.

"My first reaction was that his travail would make a most excellent Snickers ad, "Not going any place soon?""

LOL! Good one!!

[bboop]

That's right! It has been proven to be blissful. Maybe they should just starve the prisoners to death, slowly and blissfully removing water and food.

I actually think this should be part of the next election plank. "Use their own weapons against them."

Brilliant.

SO WHAT!

[Gordongekko909]

Not that the libs have a point or anything, but if you want to shut them up, the way to do lethal injection is this: 0% heart-stopper, 100% sedative. Pump the condemned full of heroin. There's probably a bunch of it laying around somewhere, not doing any good. Put it to good use.

[Anti-Bubba182]

The Guillotine is way faster than the short knife, but the rifle bullet might be better in that the shock from the shot would almost certainly render the subject unconsious.

The point is that what is needed is a fast reliable method of execution that works the same every time, or as close to that as possible.

I don't think states would use such methods of execution due to squeamishness and wrongheaded sensibilities that suggest a more intact body is indicative of less suffering. Lawyers against capital punishment wouldn't like this because there is less to argue about. A chopped off head or well placed rifle bullet in the head leaves little doubt about how long they suffer. If either case death is quick.

Execution could be accomplished by operators of less skill and if they had sadistic intent against the subject, how can they finagle it like they might with injections?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

If they had just blasted him in the face with a shotgun I doubt he would have felt a thing.
