Botched Execution????

[ashstralia]

Our last execution was 1967, by hanging.
I can think of at least a dozen people found guilty of horrific crimes since then, whose very existence in protected custody surely causes the families ongoing grief.

I'm conflicted, but firing squad seems fair.

He was born to die.

I disagree with the death penalty on a vaguely moral
Stand point but I am conscious that on occasions where people commit these terrible crimes they then try and kill themselves indicating they would rather die than face the repercussions . This makes me more inclined to make these sorts face the repercussions .

As a uk citizen who had a close friend in prison and had the misfortune of having to visit him am not sure what USA prisons are like but it's fucking horrendous ... Grim doesn't cover it .
So I might be swayed to how horrendous a life of glass in my food piss in my drinks and new shit stains into clothes every time they came back from the laundry is . If that was my fate i would take the injection any day .

But am big soft shite :D

Fucking aye! You posted two minutes before me...

Guess he's two minutes sharper that you, eh dickforbrains ??

[Seshmeister]

I have no problem with executing vile criminals but I don't trust the government to accurately convict such criminals.

Exactly, I don't trust and love my government enough to give it the power to execute citizens...

Not even if the government claimed they were TERRORISTS ?!??

8th amendment? Did he exercise his victims 8th amendment rights when he shot her and then buried her alive?

I hope he died very slowly, and very painfully.

And I don't give a fuck what color he was.

I'm not anti-death penalty in its current carnation, Von....

Because as Dennis Miller said in one of his acts before he went all Foxy, "there are just some evil motherfuckers out there".....

However, IMO, there's a big difference between putting the guy to sleep then the lethal injection, and using an incorrect mix of chemicals so that his vein explodes and eventually results in him having a heart attack to die.....

[ELVIS]

Because as Dennis Miller said...

I wouldn't preface my wisdom with that...

I did say it was before his Fox days....

Agreed. It's only cruel and usual if you repair his heart, resuscitate him, and then kill the piece of shit again in the same fashion.

The only thing botched was they didn't off piece of shit #2.

There should be some standard of evidence to have the death penalty. And then they should get a timely and fair appeal and then WRAP IT UP. Hangings seem like they were cheap and effective. Firing squads don't cost much either.

Executing people in the US costs a lot more than locking them up until they die because of the legal costs.

Even less so.

It's fucking unbelievable that Obama, a democrat fucking constitutional lawyer of all things, sits down and decides who he will execute by drone plus whoever happens to be nearby at the time.

It shows how astonishingly fucked up the US is at this point and makes you wonder how bad it's going to get when black jesus is replaced by someone even worse...

And, mind you, that's currently the "best" option, at least among candidates mentioned in the corporate media.
