I think the Guillotine is more humane.

I like the drugs where it all goes wrong and the scumbag suffers a long, agonizing death. But, ole sparky will do.

I wish we would just lock them in an airtight room with a mattress and slowly replace the oxygen with some noble gas.
I know it is more graceful and peaceful death than they deserve, but it would keep the whiners on the left from screaming how painful and botched the execution was. Plus, the organs could be harvested if the killer wanted that.
Whenever I see these execution stories, I think of a story I read about a slave. A jewish slave whose job it was to plug holes in peoples heads with using melted wax. That was so that the brains would stop oozing out after the Germans used wooden bullets at head contact range to kill prisoners.
That was horrible. How we do it is clinical, but it is still probably more complex than necessary.

Yep. People crying about lethal injection? No problem, fire the old chair back up. That starts having people up in arms, get a rope or build a guillotine.

I understand you feelings and the perp put the victim through much worse, but we just need to rid society of the trash. We don’t need to go any further. God will handle the rest.

While I am a firm believer in the inexpensive, convenient, and difficult to legally challenge firing squad, the electric chair stands out as the least painful means of execution.
The reason is that electricity is faster than nerve impulses, travels to the brain and fries the circuitry before pain can be felt.

I think if I had a choice, it would be the firing squad. I have no desire to torture them, just eliminate them from the living as soon as possible and yes make sure they are guilty first.
