Jeez, that's a pretty horrific death.

Apparently, Massachusetts does have capital punishment. The method of execution is named Joe Druce and he expressly desires the death to be cruel and unusual.

And unlike other methods of capital punishement, Joe Druce can't be turned off.

While slightly off topic, the state of MA got exactly what it didn't want. I'm sure the liberals determined that the death penalty is considered cruel and unusual punishment. Accordingly, there are no executions. So what do they get? A very violent death, (in the protective custody block no less) which most would call cruel and unusual. While not funny, it demonstrates a pathetic truth about government.
