This needle method is garbage. Old Sparky was fail safe and reliable.

“Old Sparky was fail safe and reliable.”

Even if the perps head occasionally caught on fire you can at least say that Old Sparky was effective.

The rope or firing squad works well also.

Screw needles and electricity.

I’m all for adopting to the guillotine.

Fast, sure and best of all, cheap.

A bullet in the back of the head is faster, cleaner, and cheaper.

Old Sparky, though throwing the switch would give me great personal satisfaction, is a torture device and was rightly eliminated.

Likewise the slow suffocation of the "gas chamber".

If we cannot dispatch murderers and rapists quickly (with a long drop hanging or, preferably, the guillotine), capital punishment is not going to have a future.
