Oklahoma could execute death row inmates with nitrogen gas

That Hangman at Nuremberg, I think he was Jewish, he made them Suffer, especially the Streicher Hanging, bcuz he was a Jew Hater, didn't put the rope in the right location on neck, Some of these Scum need to Suffer...

Firstly... I do not go with executions, it is murder and two wrongs do not make a right.

Second point... I assume you are referring to Albert Pierrpoint? where did you get the info on him being Jewish, as I can not find any reference to this.

Albert Pierrepoint (30 March 1905 – 10 July 1992) was a long-serving hangman in England. He executed at least 400 people, including William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw"), and John Amery, whom he considered the bravest man he had ever hanged. He executed many people who had been convicted of war crimes.

Pierrepoint was often dubbed the Official Executioner, despite there being no such job or title. In England, executions were the responsibility of the local sheriff; however, instead of officiating themselves, sheriffs used to delegate the job to a person of suitable character who was employed and paid only when required. Pierrepoint continued to work for years in a grocery near Bradford after qualifying as an Assistant Executioner in 1932 and a Chief Executioner in 1941, in the steps of his father and uncle.

Following his retirement in 1956, the Home Office acknowledged Pierrepoint as the most efficient executioner in British history. He subsequently became a publican in Lancashire and wrote his memoirs, in which he sensationally concluded that capital punishment was not a deterrent.

I might be missing something but how can anyone implicitly state that capital punishment isn't a deterrent. How could we ever know that it isn't?

It's not rocket science - this official conclusion has been drawn by comparing the murder rates per capita in the UK before and after capital punishment was abolished.

The clear conclusion was that the rate remained the same - hence, no measurable deterrent effect.

As someone who has been involved in the administration of justice for most of my adult life, the evidence is clear to me that the ONLY deterrence to crime is the fear of apprehension - if you can increase the perceived likelihood that an offender will be caught and punished, they will be far less likely to commit it in the first place.......the actual likely punishment is not a consideration in their thought processes.

BTW, I think it highly unlikely that we would ask you for help. You probably would not come unless victory was assured and you can share the spoils!

That, sir, is a slap in the face to my father who landed at D-Day after Churchill asked for help. My father suffered for many decades from wounds he received when a machine gun blew up in his hands. Well how did I know that Britbash 101, Thx, Point Made

@%$ you and the horse you rode in on.

I did not mean to insult any individual. I apologise for the offence caused. I'm sure your father and many others were brave men fighting for their country.

I did not bring up the issue.

What I was trying to convey was my opinion that many people are dismayed at the apparant barbarity displayed by so many (but not all) Americans.

Again, sorry for the offence caused

. So Many, But Not All, What a Pathetic Statement, 1/2 Deck is all I can say, Hey Mr. Peace , where u from??? I Need To Know

I really fail to understand your point.

A majority of Americans I come across these days seem to be very right wing with views straight of Fox News. I find capital punishment barbaric and I am genuinely dismayed that so many Americans seem to applaud it!

That's not all Americans but a very clear majority.

Maybe that's because I do not know so many these days or because web boards attract a certain type?

Why is that pathetic? At least it has stimulated some debate

I am British since you ask

. I mean who watches Fox News in America, a bunch of yahoos that don't know better, the Bible Belt Crowd, I'm from California and we don't think that way, maybe the ignorant rural areas, I worked to stop the war in Vietnam, 500,000 Strong in the Polo Fields and Marching down Geary in San Francisco....

Pathetic are the Statements you make, I'm definitely not Stimulated, as a matter of fact I'm feeling a lil Barbaric at the moment, but that's why there called Trolls...

"Some of these scum need to suffer"? That doesn't sound very Haight Ashbury to me!

I had no intention of upsetting you and it gives me no pleasure

I just find executions to be barbaric in the 21st century

Ok?

Cup of tea?

Times Are A Changing, Do you read Current Events, it's a Savage World out there, Now, especially when USA has to try and Secure Hot Spots around The World, Don't you think we want to have some Peace and stop being the police, But who is gonna step up, Apparently Not You, Take your Rose tinted glasses off and Think...

I never said Pierrepoint, this guy was a Yank...

Streicher was hanged by U.S. Army Master Sergeant John C Woods who was the main executioner, and not only did he insist he had performed all executions correctly, but stated he was very proud of his work. Streicher "went down kicking" which may have dislodged the hangman's knot from its ideal position. Streicher could be heard groaning under the scaffold after he dropped through the trap-door, and that the executioner intervened under the gallows, which was screened by wood panels and a black curtain, to finish the job. I hope the bastard suffered more than it's possible to imagine and to Master Sergeant Woods I say, good on ya fella, well done you're a star!
