The state and their lawyers should never have a say in lives.

we give the state the right to lock people in cages for life. I don’t believe there’s a significant difference in terms of final result, only in terms of immediacy.

Look, execution is barbaric, and only a backwards ass country like China, Iran or the USA would allow it. But if you are going to do it, firing squad seems much more humane than the shenanigins going on with lethal injection, and the potential for disaster that electrocution has.

I mean, I think the death penalty should be abolished, but if it's not, convicts should be free to pick how they want to go. Firing squad? Cool. Trampled by elephants? Hey, whatever floats your boat.

I have searched for last words, and have come (giggity) to a wonderful last breath.

"Give the boys a holiday."

And economy.

Although given the length of time it takes to work through the appeals process, it can be up to 20 years before the death penalty is carried out anyway.

Personally I’d choose the electric chair I’d like to go out with at least a feeling of shock .And I’d request this song playing to the chair and while it’s on .

 

[Deaths Head]

you guys aren’t shocked this method is still existent here? South Carolina you savage

The only shocking method is electric chair see above .

 

[Michaelangelo]

pretty sad/pathetic to see the murderer using scripture to save his own ass

During his last words Friday, Sigmon listed four Bible quotes that he said showed that "nowhere does God in the New Testament give man the authority to kill another man."

I’m sure the jury was thinking who gave him the authority to kill those poor parents

I never understand how they can’t do better executions.

We can put people under for surgery. Why not put them under and just dope them up enough to stop their hearts?

That's the theory behind lethal injection.

 

[Rob Battisti]

That's the theory behind lethal injection.

So why do people not think that’s humane ?

No idea. We put animals to sleep all the time, and that's supposed to be humane.

"...is still existent...."? I'll remind you of that the next time you call someone else dumb.

But yeah that's kinda fucked up. What crime was he convicted of?

 

[Andy Capp]

How do you feel about public stonings? You can even charge everyone $5-20 to throw a stone, the bigger the stone the more it costs, but we make sure the stones are small enough that he doesn't get one shot killed.

If you have a good arm on you the stone would have to be pretty small.

Beat two people to death with a baseball bat inside their own home. Bye.

He selected the firing squad. He could’ve went out with boring less newsworthy lethal injection

They should have done to him what he did to those people.
