Ok it's better than the other botched methods they use but why can't the septics just own up and admit they are totally inept at execution and get some experts in?
There seems to be no concept of the depthless irony of comparing the 'cruelty' of one method of execution over another.
Is there a 'non' cruel method of execution?.
The governor finds the notion of a firing squad, quote, "A little bit gruesome...", like he's reviewing Friday 13th Part 27 instead of talking about taking the life of a human being.
It beggars belief that supposedly intelligent people can discuss on this level the notion of levels of cruelty in state-sponsored murder.
I am not and never will be a supporter of capital punishment, but if its got to be done, this has to be better than the long drawn out lethal injection, and the quite frankly, barbarous electric chair.
From the Scottish Play :::: "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well, it were done quickly"
TTT...just noticed your change of avatar ! Can you go back to one of your previous ones please....I was hardly her biggest fan but its better than this !
// You also want an execution process that gets the job done with the minimum of fuss.//
judge-executioner perhaps - like Judge Dredd ! yeah !
Certainly would make it quick.
To make it quicker you have the execution BEFORE the trial - yeah !
and then litigants - the live ones of course - can make their way to the House of Justice across a blood drenched forecourt ( because of all the pre-executions in case your imagination fails you ) yeah! yeah!
You can discuss whether capital punishment per se is cruel but once, if you already have the death penalty as a legal 'state sponsored murder' then of course their are different levels of cruel methods that can be discussed. Personally i'd find lethal injection on a different level of cruelty to hanging to being hung drawn and quartered to being burnt at the stake or thrown to lions.
