    You could sell tickets and make a it a slow death and without  a hood as well , the last thing that they would ever see would be my smiling face 

 

With a decapitation they might even wink at you.

I know he did. There are disturbing reasons why he opted for this. And I won't just because you say so. Freedom of speech and all that.

 

In my opunin, those who support the death penalty should be prepared, if called upon, to attend a non-sanitized execution. I;'d rather lock them up and throw away the key. Reinstate the idea of the oubliette. 40 years of eternal darkness. Suicide by hangman is too easy a way out.

I don't support the death penalty. But in life we must choose our battles and this scumbag isn't worth the time, expense and litigation. I also don't really like abortion but don't get too stirred up about it. What is weird is the hypocrisy  of being pro-life and pro-death penalty or being pro-choice and against it.  

 

By your standards those that support abortion should have to perform one.

I don't support the death penalty AS CURRENTLY APPLIED. 

 

Too many cases of poor people convicted with bad legal representation.  And unequally applied to minorities. 

 

In cases of especially heinous crimes where guilt is not in doubt I believe it would be a deterrent if it happened within a year of verdict.  Taking 20 years for appeals and the like doesn't work because most people capable of committing a crime worthy of this penalty don't think that far ahead.

It only hurts for a very brief time I have heard. As Gary Gilmore famously said prior to his firing squad execution in 1977 "Let's do it"

It is unclear if Nike ad motto "Just do it" was a spin off of Gilmore's last words

 

The Adverts, a British punk rock band did a song about him.

He donated his eyes to be used for a transplant for someone.

Think in truth,  only his corneas were used.

Gary Gilmores eyes. 1977.

Firing squad executions should be banned across America. Lethal injection should be the sole method of execution.

He had the choice , Chair , Injection or Firing squad.
Hiis victims David and Gladys Larke didn't have that choice , they just got the Baseball bat .

You heard what exactly and from whom ?

 Last I,checked there's not much feedback from someone who faced a firing squad.

In theory, sounds good... but many instances of injection not working... besides you have all that time spent being checked if health enough to kill (?), strap down, various cocktails...

"Death is pronounced after cardiac activity stops. Death usually occurs within seven minutes, although, due to complications in finding a suitable vein, the whole procedure can take up to two hours, as was the case with the execution of Christopher Newton on May 24, 2007." per google search

Advantage of firing squad is that it is quick and time tested

Look up Ginggaew Lorsoungnern. She was executed by machine gun (10 rounds) in Thailand in 1979. Well, so they thought. She woke up in the morgue and started screaming and walking around. She had Situs inversus, so her heart was on the opposite side. At first they tried to roll her, to bleed her out. Then one of the officers tried to strangle her, but that didn;t work, so they dragged back into the execution room, tied her to the post and tried again, this time with 15 bullets.

 

They had another execution lined up right after. Because of the botch, the second prisoner had to wait 10-15 minutes. Even that was botched.  First time, 13 bullets, but he was still breathing. So they reloaded and put in another 10.

 

 

Personally, if you are going to have capital punishment, it needs to be by the most horrific but quick method possible. If the state has the power to take a life, it needs to live with the consequences. Guilotine, unwashed. Witnesses to be present. Doctor on hand to confirm death by holding and presenting the head to the witnesses. The witnesses and staff can live with the memories.

 

Fictionalised execution of Gary Glitter. Under the British approach, the condemmed would not be given an execution date or time.

 

 

Dude this is America, they put 3 rounds of 308 Win 110 grain TAPs into his heart from 15 feet, easy shot. Do you know what a TAP is? Its designed for Popo urban snipers to take out bad guys and minimize riccochets by blowing up inside the perp.

 

Blowing up. Like a grenade going off. Take one between the eyes and your head will explode and no bullet will travel though. Its a great bullet, accurate too.

 

Boom. Dead scumbag before the sound hits, far faster than his victim.
