Well, it’s immediate, painless, foolproof, not affected by the subject’s body weight, and doesn’t require a physician’s assistance. Sounds like a winner to me.

This judge might want to remember on whom historically the guillotine was used.

Well, I’ve argued that the firing squad is the right way.
Televised, every Friday, with members pulled from the voter rolls (like jury duty).

The fact that the 9th circus agrees with me is troubling, though...

Why not just build a giant vacuum cleaner that sucks them in slices and dices them into a million pieces? If it is good enough for unborn innocents, then it ought to be good enough for the criminal class.

For goodness’ sake, people PAY to die by heroin overdose and try again when they fail.

"The firing squad strikes me as the most promising. Eight or ten large-caliber rifle bullets fired at close range can inflict massive damage, causing instant death every time."

He's right about that.

Inert gas (usually nitrogen) asphyxiation.

Unconsciousness within seconds, death within minutes. Works first time, every time.

We seem to have little difficulty euthanizing dogs or horses, why do we have so much trouble executing people?

I say give the condemned the choice. Drugs that sedate to the point of death should be an option.

This judge seems to think that executions should necessarily be violent. And there might be some additional deterrent effect in that.

But I say, death is enough. And they are soon to be judged by a more fierce Judge, who judges in righteousness and truth. Let Him declare a fitting judgment or mercy as He sees fit.

Aren’t the drugs used for executions pretty much the same as the drugs used for “euthanasia” and “assisted suicide”. “Progressives” tell us that euthanasia and assisted suicide allow for “death with dignity”.

Judge Kosinski is pretty plain-spoken about things the PTB would rather not think about. For example,
“The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.” - Judge Alex Kozinski

Five executioners with 12 gauge shotguns loaded with buckshot from 5 yards. Right in the heart ought to do it.

Why not a firing squad?

Nowhere near as brutal and savage as what the victims went through.

The guillotine, btw, was introduced as a painless execution method.

I’m not sure about that, and actually, I think these people were better off with drugs. People under anesthesia thrash around, too, which is why you’re always strapped down when you go into the operating room.

But the judge is clearly opposed to the death penalty. I’m not, but I think they need to be offered a chance for repentance before they die. Bring in the priest or the religious figure of their choice and let them burst into tears and ask for forgiveness before they die. That might actually save their miserable hides.

I thought I read somewhere that the states are having problems getting the right drugs because the anti-death penalty lobby had been lobbying the drug companies to not sell them. Anyone else read this?

It looks like the libs are creating the problem and then saying see it doesn’t work.

Public hanging by the neck until dead, downtown on Saturdays at noon, and on the internet, with their names. Preceded by canings for lower crimes, and may stocks, too.

Yep, the times they are a-changin', gettin' ready for a second coming!

Revelation 20:4
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

If a guillotine is not cleaned properly ,it could cause blood poisoning
