[Former Military Chick]

I am a firm believer in capital punishment. There are crimes that are so hideous that the only punishment is execution. I say this with Charlie Manson in mind, who received a stay, many states followed and families were denied the justice they were entitled to.

Would you still believe in capital punishment if 50+% of all of those executed were innocent?

Manson received a stay beacuse Furman v. Georgia struck down the death penalty laws. If the court sides with the plaintifs on lethal injection then the same thing may happen to everyone on death row.

Then

Hang em....

Shoot em.....

just Kill em.

The states should revert to hanging where there is long established precedent. There is also current precedent in Iraq.

[Little Ray]

I have an idea! Lets go back to hangings. Public hangings. Done on a gallows right in the Town Square. And for some of the more egregious crimes, I support public impalings... Again, right in town square.

Lets face it, if a punishment isn’t cruel or unsual, it ain’t much of a punishment.

Nitrogen asphyxiation ...quick, painless and cheap.

Some would say that lethal injection followed by a lullaby is cruel and unusual punishment.
