Lethal Injection or Electric Chair?
 

in lieu of the DC Sniper death penalty sentence taking place last night, what would you recommend for someone who kills one of your relatives?

Deep fried does it for me... just like they do in good ol' Florida!

I'll take the electric chair if they let Alexs Texas sit in my lap.

I'd hang them by the balls... :2 cents:

Life in prison without possibility of parole.

The Judas Chair or Spanish Donkey. You can see them here: http://www.listaholic.com/12-of-the-...n-history.html

Japanese Water Torture is pretty fucked up too.

id have 2 say death by my hands

Torture is the only way. I'm talking sick shit.

Pulling out finger and toe nails with pliers.
Breaking knee caps
Tazers
Mace

That's only the beginning. I can be one sick and twisted individual.

I read on a book about a Russian torture where the make the person swallow one end of a towel, and the other end hangs outside their mouths. The following day, when it's half digested, they pull it out and it pull the internal layer of the stomach with it.
Not sure if it's real or not, but it impressed the heck out of me, eek!

What are you 12? Actually they do lethal injection in Florida now Einstien. Besides who gives a fuck? When a guy gets "fried" he's like dead in a few seconds if not less. If it's your intention to make the guy suffer, electrocution is not going to do that. Personally if I had a choice to be sentence to life without parole or death row I'd take death row everytime. Either way I'm not getting out until I'm dead. At least one death row I get a cell all to myself, I get to shower by myself. No worries about getting beat up, raped or stabbed. Honestly I'm not sure why some of you fuckers think that doing 30, 40, 50 years in maximum security is somehow "easy street". That's assuming you even live that long since you are most likely to be murdered in prison before then. And that death will be more painful than anything the state could do to you. Ask Jeffrey Dahlmer.

Perhaps you need to be in prison yourself.

what he said...

word! Im so against the death penalty in every aspect.

However i impose putting all criminals in their own branch of army with their own little unit. send them in before the marines let them do the shit work. hell the dc sniper should have gone into the military to kill all the stupid terrorists. put his skill to use. I don't see the big deal in what he did. Some people hunt animals for fun, he hunted humans. more power to him.

you are aware there have been people who have been put on the electric chair and havent died right?

execute fast

that's what shotguns are for :)

I'm a death penalty proponent but this topic always seems to bring out the morons who make decisions based on their emotions rather than logic...

who the hell we going to get to apply any form of torture? Give me a list of those people and i will show you a list of people who EQUALLY belong behind bars or need to be 'put to sleep' themselves...

locking them up works best, for heinous acts of violence? kill them in a humanely way as possible (yep, not perfect i know)

:error:error

Lethal Injection

A) I can guarantee you that EVERY person that has been put in the electric chair has died.

B) there a have been a FEW, very few cases where something has gone wrong adn it's taken several minutes for that person to die. So basically what you are saying is you want someone to be electrocuted but have something go wrong in the process. Which of course can't be counted on so in reality you're actually for something to deliberately go wrong. And that's simply not going not happen.

what exactly is the error?

"kill them in a humanely way as possible"

If we are going to allow executions (I am pro death penalty, but against its current form) then the whole process needs to be redone and done the same way everywhere. I am against the death penalty until we can be 100% to not kill even 1 innocent person. That is currently impossible in most cases. Though where we do still kill people I want to see the following:

Deaths will be 100% pain free.
Inmates would be put to sleep via anesthesia.
Inmates would then have every usable organ and part removed and sent for medical donation to anyone willing to receive such an organ or part.
All skin would finally be removed along with marrow and that would also be sent off.
Whatever is left could be used for medical research in schools.

I would be outraged if someone released my loved ones killer from their suffering.

It would be an additional crime perpetrated on me.

Thats the actual moral argument that proponents have to square with themselves in those hard moments of personal reflection.

Maybe chopping off someones arm is the best thing you could do for them. Do you do it over their objections that they want to live with the deformity and are already at peace with themselves?

We know whats good for you so just sit there and accept it?

Well I must be Einstines cousin because I tought that FL still did the chair as well.

Sorry if not all of us keep up with methods of the state.

For someone that's caught red-handed doing the killings there should be a very short stay on death row, after which nothing beats a good ol' public hanging. Quick, done, over.

To me it's not about making them suffer so much as it is about ridding society of that kind of scum.

Behead them. It "just work" and never fail.

Hang em like Sadam

Lethal injection is less painful, which is why I choose it if you have to execute them. I am against executions. Anyway, sometimes when you put them on the electric chair, they don't die from the first shock. So you have to shock them a second time, third time, etc. until they die.

lock a person in a room for life playing britney spears records.

Baseball bat to the skull for me. Not a fatal blow... Slow death.

I would vote for Both!

Guillotine
it's clean and done within 10th of a second
And then you can play soccer

Sure your head is gone that quick. Takes your brain up to several minutes to do.

the rope was to long or ? He lost his head and didn't stifled.

It was a piss poor job. Believe it or not hanging people has been standardized almost world wide and been that way for a century or more. There are 4 ways. - The last will be what his was to be.

Short drop: Person falls a few inches, they struggle and this makes the noose tighten around the persons neck. Eventually this results in either strangulation or a form of choking due to the vagal reflex.

Suspension hanging or reverse hanging: They use a device such as a crane or pulley and lift the person off the ground a few inches. They die in the same method as above.

Standard drop: They drop the person a set height which is anywhere from four to six feet. This may or may not break the persons neck, if not they die again like above. I think we all are used to seeing this type in westerns.

Long drop or Measured hanging: The person will fall when a trapdoor opens. The height they fall is determined by the persons height, weight, and overall physique. It got adjusted over time and now can be figured out by taking 1,000 (force) divided by the persons weight which gives you the length in feet. However the shortest it can be is five feet and the longest is 8 feet. This was perfected by the British and used in India a lot. Also was adopted in the US pretty quick.

In all hangings you want to make sure the knot/loop is under the persons left side of the jaw. This will typically cause a "hangman's fracture".

In his case they used the long drop and did not calculate things properly. You want the body to still be accelerating when it comes to a jerk stop. You just need 1,000 pounds of pressure though to snap a persons neck typically. At around 1,250 pounds you start to see dislocations of the neck. Head past 1,300 and you start to see decapitations. So you can figure out what went wrong - either bad math, vengeance, and well to much of a drop.

I did get curious to see what the common form of hanging was in that region and did not get too much beyond that Saddam adopted the "American style" but did find out that the Taliban likes to use suspension hanging.

There you go, the more you know (insert rainbow). Yet another long post brought to you by useless information a cripple knows.
Who says a early fascination with methods of early execution as a kid would not prove helpful in the future.

I am 100% certain that they could auction off the rights to torture and kill murderers and the bidding would reach big bucks.

One thing I've always wondered is if the condemned walk calmly to their death or if there is a huge struggle getting them out of their cell and strapped down.

I'd love to torture someone who deserves it. Some stuff just can't be forgiven - I'd dish out the punishment any day of the week.

You are surely blood thirsty ... I'd say life in prison without parole ... From the mentioned ones, lethal injection, is the less painful ...

I want executions on pay-per-view

Heard that many require assistance by two or more guards. Even the harder people typically end up struggling and also crying. Some also need to be strapped down and sent in via gurney's.

They covered it on one of the prison type shows on discovery or history channel
