No question and it probably would have a certain deterrent factor as well.
"Mine object all sublime,
I shall achieve in time
To let the punishment fit the crime!
The punishment fit the crime!"
-If a murderer shoots some one - shoot him
-If he beats someone to death - beat him to death
-If he poisons someone - let him be poisoned.
I dunno. Is this too obvious?
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Revelation 20:4 (New American Standard Bible.)
“If a guillotine is not cleaned properly ,it could cause blood poisoning”
Yes, or transfer blood born pathogens to the next “user”.
I nominate the wood chipper. Even the smallest town has one or acess to one, so no new capital expense, no new training costs, easily cleaned and mobile, thus easily deployed. Spares available with a phone call.
Added benefit they’re useful for parades before the main event. Straighten the young minds from the get go.
Far as pain, not a factor in my mind, but it’s over quicker than the drugs. Head first or feet first, up to the congregation.
Might be useful for roadside mulch as well.
In order to make sure that the guillotine will not inflict undue pain to the recipient, we should first test new models on animals with little intelligence and no feelings in order to make sure that it cuts sure and true.
The names Pelosi and Reid come to mind.
Firing squad?
You seen the price of ammo these days?
Unless they are taking it out of the DHS stash, a firing squad is just wasting money.
Or they could at least bill the families of the executed for the ammo cost, as the Communists do.
Ropes or blades are at least reusable... (surely the ACLU would be suing if the States dared to use reloads in firing squad executions).
I’m not sure if I’m kidding....
I go with suicide as a form of repenting for sin.
Hole in cell wall where bullet will exit into brain. Convict has to create the circuit so there is no accident. Head goes against hole in wall. Two feet on spots on floor, hands on wall create the circuit. From that point on an movement that can open the circuit sets off the charge.
You put the convict in the cell on day one. He will spend the rest of his life in that cell, looking at that hole, realizing what he did. Only then will he realize what he did to take a life.
As a side note, the cell is self cleaning.
Hey, this is the 21st century, we can do better than that
I think a high powered laser would be best, fast, and it
cauterizes the wound so very little bleeding, short
clean up and quick turn around.
High powered water cutter. No problems.
I like it.
An opioid overdose is usually very quick and painless. A firing squad, nitrogen asphyxiation, whatever. Kill the convicted criminal and let God decide. Let the criminal pick their poison...
When Sharia Law gets here, it will be so.
Who’s necktie party was that?.............
Check the date on this article. Wood was the murderer who took two hours to die at his AZ execution and started this whole anti-death penalty discussion once again.
The firing squad is the way to go, quick, fool-proof and inexpensive.
beheading is too Muslim for me.
hanging or firing squad is fine though
The last public execution in Florida was in Crestview, our county seat, on the courthouse grounds. According to newspaper reports of the time, there were family picnics with baskets and food vendors. Children were much in attendance..............
Looks like the Lincoln assassination conspirators.
