Bring back public hangings on the courthouse square.
Why not send the condemned to Oregon where they can be quietly ‘euthanized’?
The default mode of execution should be whatever method the executee used on his victim. If that was very painful, we might allow him to request a different form of execution, at the discretion of the judge and with the concurrence of the victim’s family.
What’s with all this angst about lethal injections?
If there’s a problem, bring back firing squads. Or other methods which are quick and to the point.
The gasping that enrages me is the gasping that the killer's victim experienced in the minutes (hours?) it took for him/her to die.
Did the people these guys murdered “suffer?”
What a load of bleeding heart propaganda BS.
Oh, boy. A bunch of murderers might have suffered for a few minutes during the course of us exterminating their worthless lives.
Cry me a river, media idiots.
I don’t care if prisoners suffer.
I only care if dogs suffer.
The libs passed laws stating that this was the only allowable method of execution. Anything else is too inhumane and violent for these despicable murderers, whom liberals adopt as their pets. What they want is no executions at all and a return of roulette wheel justice where violent criminals are released into the population to maim and murder at will, like in late 1970’s California.
Liberals are insane. And the Asspress is doubly insane.
They cry a river over executing brutal murders but shed not a single tear for the millions upon millions of innocent babies EXECUTED by abortionists!
The Constitution says it can’t be cruel and unusual. Doesn’t proscribe painless and suffering-free.
Get a rope! Get a firing squad! Chop their heads off!
There wouldn’t be any of that with firing squads or hangings.
Firing squads have none of the problems of lethal injection, and are legally sound. States just need to write a law that both authorizes them as a legal means, and add to it that if other means are unavailable, the execution will default to the firing squad.
This will help a lot to discourage frivolous appeals, and judges who refuse to permit executions because they just don’t like them.
Problematic executions = oxymoron
Now if he didn’t die, THAT would be problematic.
The guy’s dead, right?
Somehow, I’m not seeing the “problem” aspect.
Who cares if the reporters are writhing and gasping while watching an execution? Give them a barf bag.
All the attempts to “humanize” executions have failed. The electric chair, the gas chamber, and now drugs do not make the process more “humane”, in fact, they prolong the process and are subject, rightly, to the constitutional bar on cruelty.
If society cannot bear beheading, hanging, or shooting, then capital punishment should be abolished.
An execution could be administered as humanely and flawlessly as possible and the MSM will report that it had “problems.”
Utterly ridiculous reporting. “Writhing and gasping” indeed. They are unconscious. Anyone ever have a colonoscopy or other so-called “conscious sedation” procedure? In spite of the official term, you lose consciousness within seconds. You are aware of nothing. These evil men didn’t suffer. Not that I would care if they did.
