The mainstream media is playing up the “tragedy” of Clayton Lockett’s “botched” execution....

This is Stephanie Neiman. Clayton Lockett murdered her over her truck. He laughed as he killed her.

I have no sympathy for the worm.
Execution should be no more than 30 days after the verdict and sentence.
I don’t care if it’s painless.

A society that respects life will say to murderers that their crimes can not be tolerated, and that they have to be eliminated from society.

The left can go to hell with its hypocricy over killing babies and the elderly.

I do not care if they burned this man to death on a stake over a small pile of coals over the course of 3 days.

yesterday my 23-year old conservative niece, during dinner, lamented about how horrible it was for this guy to suffer this way... it is just wrong... i looked up from my plate and said, "i didn't lose any sleep over it." and neither did anyone else at the dinner table...

The Constitution does not forbid painful punishment. By definition, all punishment is painful in one way or another. The constitutional prohibition is against CRUEL punishment — I.e., torture or sadistic infliction of pain for its own ends. Execution in and of itself is not painful; no one who has been successfully executed has ever complained of the pain.

Not only did I not lose sleep over it, I’m glad he suffered, and I hope that he is now suffering for eternity in Hell.

This bad man got much less than he deserved.

Gilbert & Sullivan had it right in "Mikado:"

"My object all sublime

I shall achieve in time --

To let the punishment fit the crime

The punishment fit the crime.

I’ll bet his rap recordings are worth a fortune now.

Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972) ... In this way the United States Supreme Court "set the standard that a punishment would be cruel and unusual [,if] it was too severe for the crime, [if] it was arbitrary, if it offended society's sense of justice, or if it was not more effective than a less severe penalty."

If they just hit him with some birdshot, then buried him alive: definitely the same severity as the crime, not arbitrary - fits the crime, equally just as the crime itself, and definitely more effective than not killing him. I guess the only way you could argue this is that it's not more effective than just Nitrogen-ing him to death, which would be less severe of a punishment. A less effective deterrence though.

Let it not be forgotten that this guy had complete control over his circumstances. He chose, not the state, not anyone else, to do something that brought him to a death sentence — however it was carried out.

Rope wears out eventually...

How about a bolt gun? Like they use for cattle?

Went over to DummyUnderground the other day. Even many Dummies were glad to see this piece of manure die painfully.

No medicalized execution. It perverts both medicine and the death penalty.

A bullet to the brainstem is swift and painless - it is also too up close and personal for Western sensibilities.

A firing squad is swift and the pain is relatively brief. Banning cruel and unusual punishment does not mean banning any pain at all, and I suspect that fear and anticipation are worse than the pain in most cases.

Stephanie faced death with a great deal more strength & dignity than her weasel murderer did.

It makes you wonder doesn’t it?

If maybe there is such a thing as “karma” - and maybe Stephanie was right there in that room

The men could be heard “laughing about how tough Stephanie was” before Lockett shot Neiman a second time. “He ordered Mathis to bury her, despite the fact that Mathis informed him Stephanie was still alive.”

At least it was 40 minutes. In our system of 'justice' we're lucky if the monsters suffers at all...

Liberals don't care if the innocent suffer - but 'lordie mighty' they freak if some demon from hell like this animal suffers even a minute.

Bring back the long drop.

as far as I can tell - heroin is quite deadly.
I don’t understand why it seems so difficult to come up with the right concoction.
