Do we execute 2,4, 10 in a day?

I would say on some days we do...and what difference do the totals make?

It's been a long time since I can recall multiple executions on the same day, and even longer when multiple executions occurred in the same state done by the same executioner. I do believe in capital punishment but our system is much more just and fair than that of the Islamic world. Whether you believe in capital punishment or not is your choice and you are more than welcome to it, but you tried to make a comparison between our system and their system saying "we execute lots of folks here in the good old U.S. of A."but it is just not a fair comparison. Is capital punishment right or wrong? Well that's another debate; I think it is a needed and justified punishment.

Texas, which is far and away the leader, has done slightly more than 800 executions in the last 27 years, which comes out to approximately 30 per year. No other state in America is even remotely close. I would be stunned if anyone could find even one day in the last thirty years in which more than one person was executed.

Correction, that is actually 800 executions in the entire country in the last 27 years, which slightly more than a third taking place in Texas.
