I know there are people who will say 'serves him right' but ino this is so wrong.

[murraymints]

life sentences are more appropriate to my mind, it is inhumane even though he was an evil monster

[youngmafbog]

Actually (yep I know what people will expect me to say) I agree with you.

Whilst I am pro execution under limited circumstances I believe it should be done as fast and as humanley as possible. Read the book by Albert Pierpoint once, he took the skill to a new level, ensuring it was all done quickly and correctly.

The problem here is the liberals have pushed to stop the drug companies supplying the correct drugs. So heyho look who is to blame again.

I know what you mean. You would think that the authorities would know how to kill someone. I feel sorry for anyone who may have been there to see the execution.

I've never understood why those who are going to be executed, aren't 'put under' with anaesthetic first?

[anotheoldgit]

Perhaps the UK should distance themselves from a country that violates human rights?

[Jeza]

Jordy, I realise what you are saying but that man should not have been made to suffer the way he did.

[pixie373]

That makes me feel sick too. A quick painless death would have been enough to stop him doing it again. I bet his family will struggle with this.

We should never decide the moral level of the actions acceptable by our authorities by the level of the actions of the wrongdoers. One should have sympathy for all those mistreated.

This is shameful, but, in my opinion, so is killing someone as punishment. If a primitive country still insists on murdering its citizens it could at least do it without them suffering.

\\\\The execution of Warner, who raped and killed a baby girl\\\

no, I feel no compassion at all......I haven't given it a second thought.

[Old_Geezer]

That is the guy whose execution is delayed Sqad.

[Sqad]

O_G...thanks.

sorry I didn't see this when I started my thread above. Anyway, if you are going to do execution then at least use a tried and trusted methed. I've never know why the septics insist on pratting about with chemicals, electricity, strewth, the rope is as the best way, even the Guillotine is more effective that what they use. There must be many instant deaths, what's wrong with a bullit through the head?

[Everhelpful]

I'm with you,sqad,but why do they sterelise the needles to give a Lethal Injection?

[Sqad]

Everhelpful........LOL.......good point.

[Jeza]

I'm with you 100% O.G

[anneasquith]

they clean the skin with antiseptic wipes prior to injection ?

SP:"I've never understood why those who are going to be executed, aren't 'put under' with anaesthetic first? "
well until now Sp I thought that was the process, ie they where put under and then another drug stops the heart. But there is a side issue here about the drug suppliers and what drigs they are actually using. Some sort of secrecy/unconstitutional legal wrangle that's been going on. Apparently they have a new supplier that's un named.

[ToraToraTora]

probably anne! Did you also know that a doctor can grant a stay of execution if the prisoner is deemed not well enough to be executed!
