Serious question...
What would it take to bring back public executions in this country?

The guards got there too fast. They should have gone to breakfast and checked him when they got back.

So from this moment ‘till the moment he takes a seat on Ole Sparky (yah,I know!) he's kept in four point restraints because *we* will decide how (and when) he goes out.

That filthy murderer *and* his scumbag lawyer should be placed side by side when the date with the death house arrives.And lawyers are *still* clueless as to why they're so despised in this country.

Okay, how’s that even possible? Somebody’s getting fired. That’s the one job the prison has when he’s that close, to watch him, as Oscar Wilde put it, “lest himself should rob their scaffold of its prey.” And they blew it.

I understand your sentiment, but someone has to defend these miscreants. It’s a filthy job like pumping septic systems.

He’d rather die of cuts?

Ok, death by a thousand cuts then.

Wilde’s Prison Writings:
“He does not sit with silent men who watch him night and day,
Who watch him when he tries to weep, and when he tries to pray,
Who watch him lest himself should rob the prison of its prey.”

This seems like a perfect opportunity to perfect waterboarding skills. The worst case scenario is also the best case scenario.

We should have a lottery...
Seriously.

But, then, I am a such a heartless bastard when it come to things like this...

A couple of years ago a similar event occurred here in Oklahoma. An inmate tried to commit suicide on the night of his execution. He was transferred to a local hospital, stablized, then sent back to the prison where the execution was carried out.

I do...For the money (they are going up) you can’t beat it. It was built to be worked...much like the AK47’s you can toss it in the mud for a few days, pick it up and i’m certain it will fire normally. However, if you are planning on getting one let me know because there are a couple safety items that will bite you if not careful.

Ha! LMBO! That’s a novel approach to avoiding the DEATH penalty. “Attempt” suicide....Right!

Now some slimy Leftist Activist Judge will find him mentally incompetent, commute his sentence, remand him to a cushy “prison psych ward,” and they’ll spend YEARS asking him what his Daddy did to him to make him turn out so bad... Or how his Mommy neglected him that made him feel compelled to do all those bad things he did to others... Or what policies those Wascally Wepubwecans passed that caused circumstances that forced him to commit such crimes... Or how the Capitalist system created such an unfavorable climate for his socio-economic class that he snapped under the pressure and it’s all society’s fault — or at least the RICH in society....

Now don’t we ALL wish someone with a weapon has SHOT the SOB during the commission of his crime and SAVED us ALL the time, money AND troubles?!
