Common sense regarding the Death Penalty

I like rope. its reuseable.

But gets dirty.

I say do 'em how they murdered. It was good enough for their victim(s)...

I'm a fan of that idea, but what if they do something particularly awful? Torture their victims, rape them with a pineapple, etc? Who doles out the punishment? Do we keep some of the deranged around to do the dirty work? Do we turn some unsuspecting government servant into a psychopathic killer? Is it ever okay to commit that sort of act and still consider yourself good and righteous?

This state is full of pineapple rapists in waiting. We'd find someone...

On a serious level... Good points. Maybe, whatever the method, death should be expedient.

I see what you did there....

What, they worried about infections?

I say do 'em how they murdered. It was good enough for their victim(s)...

This is one point I agree with Sharia law ... hand 'em over to the families of their victims and turn away.

I'm opposed because what you are suggesting is government sponsored drug addiction.

“Because the Court declined to require that states follow scientific guidelines in determining their lethal injection procedures, states will be allowed to conduct additional human experimentation when they carry out executions by lethal injection,” Dale Baich, one of the attorneys for the prisoners, said in a statement.[Read the court’s opinion on lethal injection drug]
Midazolam was used in the execution of convicted murdered Clayton Lockett, who kicked and grimaced during his execution last year before dying 43 minutes after it began. A state investigation blamed the bungled procedure on poor placement of a needle during the injection. The same drug was also used in the execution of an Arizona inmate who took nearly two hours to die last year.

Seriously, why are they using these exotic ineffective drugs, when there are so many proven alternatives available? FFS, veterinary euthanasia is a science that has been refined for over a hundred years.

Why does it even need to be 'humane'? Once all doubt of guilt has been exhausted for crimes deserving of death and sentence imposed, I think there should be two tiers, firing squad on the low end, and incineration for those especially deserving...maybe a bit of adrenaline administered at the beginning of the process...

Yeah...I'm not too concerned about how much a prisoner suffers during a botched execution. Too much current lights the guy up a little bit? That's what fire extinguishers are for. Drugs burn during administration or don't work quickly? Administer more drugs.

Personally, I like the firing squad idea. I never understood why a shooter would be issued a blank round, though. The sound and recoil are noticeably different when using a blank round. It seems to me the shooter would know.

Lethal injection of a .30 full metal jacket in the cerbral cortex. Pretty quick and inexpensive.

Probably nothing less expensive, faster, least painful, and more reusable than a quillotine.

The average time on death row more than doubled from 6 years and 2 months in 1984 to 14 years and one month by 2009. The primary reason inmates left death row is because their sentences or convictions were overturned (59.5%) and not because of execution (24.0%). As of September 26, 2011
