I believe you're right. Nor am I entirely opposed to it as a method of sending people off. It has the same immediacy of hanging, that is, the severing of the spinal chord. It's just a little more severed.

I don't mean to sound overly flippant on the issue. The reason for that is this monster: Joseph Duncan. He's still drawing breath. He shouldn't be.

“Old Sparky” used to be the way Texas dispatched them.

I remember the UN and ACLU cried “cruel and unusual punishment” every time Reddy Kilowatt (brandname) sent a big tingle down their leg and up their a$$.

Head removal doesn't seem to bother the political left (including the media) when the Muslims do it, but I concede the point.

Perhaps it's time to hide the entire thing behind some hippie-dippy new-age ceremony, similar to "Carousel" in Logan's Run.

The Guillotine is you know... too European, hanging is good, firing squad is okay, but Old Sparky, now that’s the ticket, the only change would be to administer the current gradually.

At least for those who murdered their victims in a cruel and unusual manner, or they should be executed in the same manner as they executed their victim.

Any form of execution is humane as long as the criminal is unconscious.

KETAMINE and firing squad, guillotine, hanging, electric chair...anything.

Another angle on the article illustration:

Apparently, it's in Dubrovnik.

Burn them at the stake. A hot stake is better than a cold chop.

When it comes to wood chipper messes, you should ask Henry Lee.

But if you are interested high deterrent value execution methods, you should read the opening of Soviet defector Victor Suvorov's book Aquarium, which describes the GRU, an organization Suvorov managed to leave by means other than the mode he describes.

“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. “ Revelation 20:4

The perp also put up a battle royal to frustrate the execution and disrupt the whole procedure. That’s why they had to cut down to find his femoral vein. IOW he pooped into his own nest and has to live with it for eternity.

“Who’s going to clean up the mess?”

The next condemned man in line. It will give him something to do and think about as he awaits his turn.
