Deep fry them in pig grease.

Mexican gang members kill black gang member. Occupational hazard to being a thug.

Yep, but I have relatives in WA State and Snohomish Co. isn’t exactly known as the Tijuana of the Pacific Northwest. I hope they ride the lightning eventually because WA state still has the death penalty.

No lightning here in the Evergreen state. We use a tall gallows and a short rope (or a kinder, gentler needle if they choose).

It's always amazed me that such a socialist state like my dear old Washington would still follow the code of the Old West and hang 'em high. :D

My only complaint is that the authorities don't do it more often...

Actully, now the needle is the default, but you can opt for the gallows.

That’s “actually”.

It's probably a hemp rope, though. :)

...and faster. Remember the man who got too fat to hang?

He got so fat that he was off the chart that tells them how far he should drop to break his neck without tearing he head off.

Ah, yes. I forgot about that change. A pity.

The attack was recorded by a surveillance camera.

So these cameras are not for "my safety", they are for "someone else's" safety: I'm still dead, but I guess catching the scumbags prevents another crime.

Just a random thought.
