What is amazing me here is where are all the freepers who were complaining about heartless comments regarding prisoners who are raped in prison. There were similar comments about doing the crime and doing the time, but on that thread all these people were getting attacked. Seems the same to me. If you commit a crime, be prepaired to pay the consequences. If you don't want to run the risk of a "botched" execution, then don't kill anyone. If you don't want to get raped in prison, don't get arrested three times for DWI. It's not like it's a secret that bad things happen in prison. This is common knowledge. Soap on a rope and all that.
Incompetent morons. Missing the vein with both needles is just stupid.
Of course, depending on such fine technique for a method of execution is even stupider. I am no fan of the death penalty, but aside from that, I see nothing postive about lethal injection. It gives the illusion of being antiseptic, but introduces other horrors.
If you're gonna do it, what's wrong with a good old, fashioned hanging? Or a firing squad. Or a Guillotine? Simple, foolproof and quick. Isn't that what you want in a method of execution?
Hang them or get old sparky working.
