One gun + one bullet + one shot to the head = done.
I say we go back to the “Original” - “Crispy Critters”.
Just like in "The Green Mile."
Her son was a monster that didn’t care about the suffering of his victims.
Well, at this forum, there will be a lot of mockery. Nonetheless, it does sound pretty ghastly.
I think this dilemma comes from erring in the direction of the humanitarian. The death penalty is an absolute necessity. Of all the forms I can think of that have been used, the guillotine seems the most foolproof, though none is pleasant.
But then again, they’re really not supposed to be pleasant, are they? Isn’t that kind of the point?
This seems rather modest.
Too bad she didn't hire the Breck Girl ; he could have channeled her dead son from beyond the grave so he could testify as to how brutal the execution was.
Since it is humane to put animals to sleep, they should hire veterinarians to administer the drugs. They are used to dealing with sons-of-bitches.
I agree with her and do not think that $150,000 in damages is an unreasonable sum to ask for. It’s not even a quarter of a million dollars, so there is no way anyone here can argue that it is unreasonable.
After 20 minutes they should have found a rope. It’s an execution, not State-sanctioned torture.
Actually, someone should have totalled up the amount of time his victims suffered before they died and stretched his execution out by twice as much.
Ah h*ll, just beat the next one to death with a baseball bat.
Naw won't work. You can't sue the 3rd party for the actions of a murderer. Most moms love their kids no matter what they have done...
You said, “I surely hope his victims countersue her...”
But as far as I know, she had no role in her son’s crimes.
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Lewis_Clark
“When Clark entered a Toledo gas station station at approximately 9:00 p.m. on January 13, 1984, he had his .32 caliber revolver drawn. He demanded money and the attendant, David A. Manning, handed him the money out of the cash register. After receiving the money, Clark claimed that this was not all of the money Manning had. Manning then proceeded to give him an envelope and it was at this point that Clark shot him. Sixty dollars was stolen by Clark in the hold-up.”
From another website (since this bleeding heart ‘journalist’ likes to leave out facts):
Clark was executed at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio, for the Jan. 13, 1984, slaying of David Manning, a 23-year-old husband and father who was shot at a gas station on Airport Highway in South Toledo.
He received a life sentence for killing another clerk, Donald Harris, 21, the night before at a store on Hill Avenue.
Clark was arrested after shooting a third man, Robert Roloff, during a holdup at a bank ATM in Toledo, three days after shooting Mr. Manning. Mr. Roloff survived.
“Justice has been served today for both David Manning and Donald Harris. Joseph Clark has finally received that which was his due,” Mary Ellen (Manning) Gordon, Mr. Manning’s widow, said after the execution.
Mrs. Gordon said she “did not shed a single tear for the execution of Joseph Clark,” whom she said was “a perfect candidate” to receive the death penalty. Mr. Manning’s brother, Michael, said that Clark tried to be a martyr. But he said Clark is “not a martyr. He’s just a murderer.”
They should bill her for the accupuncture treatment he got prior to his death.
Jam a scissors into the base of his skull and suck out his brains. The liberals preferred form of execution
