Favorite death penalty method?

I oppose the death penalty.

Let God make the final judgement.

I mean ... Excellent! I agree! Yes!

--bkl

so that it would at least be shown for the barbaric act that it is.

prefer my own execution, if it came down to it.. It is more honorable to die by the bullet than by the noose. Hanging is reserved for the lowest of the low.

Actually I hope not to be executed at all.

You'll get some much more creative ideas that way.

lethal injection is the only way.

Cool

Close to the shore of a remote island penal colony so the condemned has a fighting chance to make to the penal colony.

But a painful way to go.

are the main proponents and users of capital punishment.

Drawing and quartering is another punishment mentioned in kids' movies only because nobody realizes what's involved. The statutory punishment for treason in England from 1283 to 1867, D&Q was a multimedia form of execution. First the prisoner was drawn to the place of execution on a hurdle, a type of sledge. (Originally he was merely dragged behind a horse.) Then he was hanged. Cut down while still alive, he was disembowelled and his entrails burned before his eyes. (Some references, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica, say this step, and not dragging behind a horse, is what is meant by "drawn," but actual sentences of execution don't support this view.)

Finally the condemned was beheaded and his body cut into quarters, one arm or leg to a quarter. How exactly the quartering was to be accomplished was not always specified, but on at least some occasions horses were hitched to each of the victim's limbs and spurred in four directions. An assistant with a sword or cleaver was sometimes assigned to make a starter cut and ease the strain on the animals. The remains were often put on display as a warning to others. Nothing like the good old days, eh? Just don't anybody mention this to Newt.:evilgrin:

and when people propose "humane" versions of execution, what they really mean is
NOT AS MESSY.

They don't give a damn about what the condemned has to go through,
or the fact that the death penalty is inequitably applied,
they just don't want a whole lot of blood to clean up.
Leaving a good-looking corpse is an added bonus.

There's no such thing as humane execution.

I believe in whimsical punishment

which I would enjoy the most...

I oppose capital punishment. Oh, sure you hear terrible things people do to others especially children and my first gut reaction is to kill him--but capital punishment is no deterrent. I think a person suffers more having to live with what they did spending the rest of their natural life in prison.

I voted for the chair. "Smoke 'em if you got 'em". You guys are too P.C.

then have it aired live over national television in prime time so people can realize how truly barbaric an execution is, you want cruel and unusual punishment, youll get cruel and unusual punishment
