I say bring back public hangings in the town square... I'm convinced this is the right idea. All of the horror and debasement has been taken out of capital punishment. The perps just...disappear.

I agree. Bring back public executions. And institute a lottery (just like jury service) which will require citizens to "participate."

How can it be civilized for a culture to tolerate the slaughter of the innocent and NOT punish the guilty? Justice is perverted.

Heck we don't even need a lottery in some states. How many people volunteered to be on Gary Gilmore's firing squad? And that was in Utah!
