I have a Marlin 45-70 Government Guide Scout I’m itching to try out.

THANK YOU!!!!!! I feel like this is the most common sense I’ve heard from a judge in 5 years.

Actually, there are simple and apparently painless methods of causing instant loss of conciousness and quick death.

For example, quickly replace the air in the death chamber with nitrogen or another inert gas. Out like a light very quickly. Death in a few minutes. Let the chamber sit at 100% nitrogen for half hour, pump in air to replace, go in, certify death, go home.

Or why not use some of that confiscated heroin to induce a massive overdose? Presumably the killee will go out not only painlessly, but with a big smile on his face.

This whole mess is emblematic of an American attitude that causes a whole bunch of similar problems. We prefer to have things appear to be neat, tidy and painless, even if they cause a great deal more actual damage.

A few examples:

The logical approach to dealing with non-violent (and possibly even mildly violent) first offenders is a good flogging. Humans have a mental mechanism whereby pain induces a desire to avoid whatever caused the pain. So why not use it? Instead, we lock young guys up in prison, pretending that’s more humane, where they run immense risk of sexual or physical assault much more damaging than a reasonable flogging. I know that given the choice I’d take a flogging followed by a week facedown in the hospital over a month in the slammer with hardened criminals.

Boxing. Old-time bare-knuckle boxing was bloody and brutal, no doubt about it. So we add pillowy gloves to minimize the cutting of the skin that causes the blood to flow. Result: less blood and boxers develop brain damage that makes them “punchy” from the brain bouncing off the walls of the skull repeatedly. Without gloves, that just didn’t happen. A person simply cannot hit somebody hard enough in the head to do that kind of damage without breaking his hands. No gloves, lots of blood, little longterm damage to the fighters. Gloves, little blood, fighters usually brain damaged.

Football: This one is similar to boxing. Rugby is played quite roughly, yet the brain damage common in American football players is seldom seen. The “armor” worn by American footballers allows and encourages them to hit much harder than Rugbyists can without seriously injuring themselves. So the padding encourages more severe injuries, it doesn’t prevent them.

There are multiple other examples of our national tendency to trade the appearance of nonviolence for a reality of worse damage. Very sad.

And choose random voters, for execution duty, just like jury duty.

The guillotine is probably best but seems inconsistent with our national ethos ... The firing squad strikes me as the most promising.

So. Use the guillotine for wogs and the firing squad for civilized monsters. The last person France executed (1977) was a wog from North Africa who killed his girlfriend.

I don’t know, I always thought a quick death really isn’t punishment. I mean you feel pain for a few seconds then it is all over. What kind of punishment is that?

Instead what I propose is the “Sick and tired” method of execution. What you do is take the criminal, tie him in a straight jacket, place him a cement cell (no pads on the walls) and on the ceiling of these cells out of reach are giant 1000 watt speakers capable of reaching the decibel levels of jet engines.

Then once you lock the door, you play this tape over and over until the criminals head explodes or he smashes his brains out on the wall...........

Rope is a much more earth-friendly solution.

Low-tech, reusable, renewable resource, etc.

Even better, make the rope from hemp!

The problem “Progressives” have with the death penalty is that they (officially) don’t believe in life after death, heaven and hell, or the Final Judgement.

They do not believe in accountability (except for some of their enemies) and they do not believe in absolute truth.

Execution involves ALL of these factors. Death for a criminal from old age just involves “passing the buck” to subsequent generations until “Nature” takes her course.

Kinda like the National Debt, the Social Security “Lockbox” and the Highway Trust Fund.

Bovine excrement can at least be utilized to fertilize fields. Congress, Federal bureaucrats and liberal judges cannot be used for even that.

They are TOTALLY useless. (”Without redeeming social value?”)

Nice thought, but the lawyers will probably sue due to the lead content of the bullets posing a cancer threat to the about-to-be-executed inmates.

...and they’ll probably win.

You can tell by the first line this is a UNIFORMED LIBERAL IDIOT!

The Death Penalty since they went to the injection method is more like going in for a operation and not waking up.

I just had my beloved Rocket put down when Doc found wide spread cancer while trying to remove a kidney stone. He just never woke up from the surgery. He never will suffer the slow painful death of wide spread cancer.

NOW that the subject is OPEN YOUR HELP IS NEEDED ASAP! WE HAVE THE WORST KIND OF KILLER STILL BREATHING AND A SPINELESS GOP RINO GOV.A CHILD RAPIST/KILLER, NIKKI WAS JUST 8 YEARS OLD. Her killer has been on death row longer than she lived on earth.

Ashley ‘Nikki’ Read, 2 juries decided that the Death Penalty was the correct punishment for the RAPE and MURDER of this 8 year old.. ALL APPEALS have run out. Justice delayed is Justice DENIED!

TN Gov email is bill.haslam@tn.gov
615 741-2001

David Keen
http://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/keen-david.htm

This CHILD RAPIST HAS RUN OUT OF ALL 20 YRS OF APPEALS, TN GOV Halsam still has NOT SET AN EXECUTION DATE OR SIGNED A DEATH WARRANT, EMAIL HIM TO DO SO bill.haslam@tn.gov 615 741-2001 Phone calls are more effective.

This is 20 years of appeals. 24 YRS SINCE THE CRIME. TOOK ONLY THE DNA TO PROVE WHO DID IT, #1 SUSPECT. DNA & confession proved he raped, strangled to death with her OWN SHOE LACES 8 year old Ashley ‘Nicki’ Read and then threw her body in the river. Even helped hunt for what was thought to be a missing child.

I worked with one of the victims of a man on Az Death Row. (A family member was brutally murdered). She told me how horrible it was when the time came (finally) for him to be executed and the MEDIA, et al, were pleading to spare this man the inhumane treatment of the Death Penalty. It’s as if the victim’s families were being victimized over again and NONE of the media et al, thought to ask her how she felt. It was as if the Murderer was the Victim. She would watch people protesting, pleading with signs to save this multi-murderer’s life, while ignoring her family member’s brutal murder and the other victims. It was as if the victims didn’t exist and if their names were mentioned, it was in passing, almost as if the media et al, wanted to make the victims inhuman.

It doesnt even need to be as expensive as that. 6 rifles, 22 caliber, all fired simultaneously into the heart would do the trick very well, at a cost of less than 50 cents for the shells. The rifles could be used time after time.
