..........after all other alternatives have been exhausted! For a nation that has capital punishment they sure are terrible at carrying it out.

they got that one wrong in the late 19th century, since then Pierrepoint refined and perfected the drop table.

“I don't understand why they don't shoot them.”

Is having your head and face blown off and just having an empty sack of skin really appropriate for the family of the prisoner who want an open casket do they can see their family member one more time (if they have these rights)

Again you have to think of the law in the country, international law and morals as the public rarely keep quiet.

“Always read this if I need to work up an appetite.”

Many of those methods are used by Isis.

Guillotine then. They could reassemble the bits and cover the gap with a cravat for display purposes.

//
To be hanged, drawn and quartered was a statutory penalty in England for men convicted of high treason. Convicts were ... drawn by horse to the place of execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded, and quartered (chopped into four pieces).

For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were instead burned at the stake.

It's kind of hard to comprehend the mentality that leads to the last sentence.

“Guillotine then. They could reassemble the bits and cover the gap with a cravat for display purposes.”

Yes I’d go with the guillotine as it’s swift, painless (possibly) and leaves the family with their open casket also there isn’t much that could go wrong imo.

[Garaman]

Why not parade all those on Death Row on TV on a Saturday evening and let viewers vote on who dies that night? The execution method could get more barbaric each week.

[Jahulaye]

Lol, have you been watching Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Running Man recently gara?

[youngmafbog]

I really dont get the thing with the family of the POS.

I doubt the murdering POS had any feelings for the family of the victim so why should the murderers family be cosseted?

I'd be in either the shooting or hanging, Pierrepoint style camp although any method so long as the murderer is despatched to meet his/her maker rather than let out on the streets a few years later by some right-on liberal.

[jim360]

"

Well, surely because the murderer's unfeeling nature is objectively wrong? So, it follows that his example is not one worth copying.

[youngmafbog]

I will have to beg to differ on that one.

Commit heinous crimes like the ones they do and all rights should be thrown out the window.

[jim360]

I obviously disagree with the idea that "rights" should be thrown out of the window, but in this case it shouldn't be controversial that the rights of the "murdering POS" and the rights of their family are separate issues. I can accept that you might not be concerned with the rights of murderers -- but not those of their families.

[cassa333]

For a crime to be serious enough for the death penalty then I see no reason to make the execution humane swift and pain free.

I'm not advocating a long drawn out torture but five minutes is nothing.

[Jackdaw33]

POS has got me beaten. Can anyone explain?

[jim360]

Piece of something.

[Jahulaye]

Piece of faeces,

[bentaxle]

Ask the religious people , they seem to have a well tested way to do it , and they haven't had a complaint yet from there customers so it must be the kindest method

[ToraToraTora]

come on JD use the loaf to have chain eh?

[fender62]

dropped in liquid nitrogen, i wonder how that would work out
