Ok, then, so back to the ole russian/chinese method, single bullet to the back of the head. Don't feel a thing...
No one's complained yet.
If there is discomfort, it is fleeting and given what these monsters put their victims through, I'd consider it divine intervention if the anesthetic didn't do its thing. Besides, the Constitution reads "cruel and unusual," not "cruel and inhumane." It seems pretty usual to me and the words are joined by "and," not "or." Nice to know that murdering bastard got as far as to be strapped down with the IV started.
PING
Oddly enough I have been getting notes saying well it was a delay verses stay. This article says STAY. In the end, this was inhumane to the victim's. Each day is painful.
For Taylor, he admitted to his actions, he should take his punishment like a man, oops he is no man, a thug instead.
Oh, and the likes of Jesse Jackson weren't there opposing his execution. They do not even care, unless you were someone like Tookie.
Oh better yet, this is based on a britsh review, who the hell are they to put their nose in our business? They want anaesthesia, fine give it to them. But, then there will be something else.
When did death become a painless event?
Plus, it's a lot cheaper.
Exactly :)
We waste to much $ on executiuons, either shoot them with the firing squad or hang them till dead. If I were to be executed I would choose hanging, or bullets to the brain.
Say YES to the Guillotine!
I've heard that drowning isn't that bad.
The whole concept that the death penalty has to be painless is a ploy on the part of the anti-death penalty crowd [of fools] to gradually eliminate the death penalty altogether.
Why the he!! shoudn't execution hurt? It's okay by me if it hurts. It won't hurt for very long, anyway. The criminals who deserve execution certainly didn't show any compassion for their victims. Misplaced compassion for murderers has as bad a result as conscious cruelty.
Justice needs to be served. It is served by executing those who are guilty of capital crimes; which, btw, should be expanded.
Some states still allow hangings. Another did allow firing squad.
I say, if we are going to sentence a prisoner to death, we need to start ensuring that the sentences are carried out and not 20 years later in some cases.
What type of justice is that. Some might say it is still justice. Justice delayed is wrong.
Thanks for the comment.
Where does Alito stand on this?
Firing squad would be much quicker. I'm sure there would be no pain since death would be instantaneous.
Just give em an OVERDOSE of sodium thiopental...Keep pumping it in until they-are-dead. Case closed.
Go back to hanging. The rope is recyclable..
I concur with the "no 20 years of appeals". One appeal if it looks as though there was a miscarriage of justice, new evidence, or something of the sort. That's it.
Mercy to the cruel is cruelty to the innocent.
I agree, after you found guilty your execution should be like within a 3-5 year window.
If you hypathetically did some heinous crime and your ordered to be executed and you had a choice of your execution what would you choose? I think I would choose hanging with a thick black bag over my head.
FRY MUMIA!
