"Crucifixion? Good. Out of the door. Line on the left. One cross each. Next."

Nitrogen Asphyxiation

I understand rope works well.
Execution by garrote is acceptable.
Just make sure they are dead.
And stop keeping executions hidden. They should be watched publicaly as a deterrent.

[Cobra64]

Excellent! QC the rifles and ammo... Round up all the CNN, MSNBC talking heads personnel.

[Karliner]

Just wait. Carfentinal will end up being sent via mexico or China to our fantastic free addicts soon enough.

[GailA]

Just raid any Evidence room, plenty of Heroin laced with Fenatayl for the taking.

[umgud]

Yeah baby!

[sparklite2]

So is nitrogen asphyxiation. For the life of me, I don’t understand why they have to complicate an already gruesome business. And having these scumbags sit on death row for decades is asinine.

[HIDEK6]

A firing squad is too honorable a death for a criminal.

What’s wrong with fentanyl? I keep hearing that miniscule amounts can kill millions.

That;s carfentanyl A lot of the clueless reporters who've never sucked a fentanyl lolipop don't know the difference or don't care. Boy, what a great replacement for Zyklon B it would make....

A traitor or coward on every utility pole.

“he told me that a firing squad or a shotgun to the heard is the most painless method of death around”

How could you know if you haven’t tried it?

How about the pre-act pain caused by knowing that you were about to be blasted by bullets?

I’d much rather be killed by being put to sleep

It already is:

[FLT-bird]

Yep. I’ve long said this. No need for fancy drugs. Ropes work. Bullets work. Both are cheap.

[grey_whiskers]

Ground zero at a nuclear detonation.

[Celerity]

Captive target with several stationery shooters? They finally found a law enforcement scenario that that Taurus could bid on.

[ronniesgal]

yes! good movie, too.

[ConservativeMind]

Can I volunteer? I’d make a vacation out of it and save the state money.

You watch, they'll find a way to screw it up. All right, everybody circle round the condemned man....

[zeugma]

This is ridiculous. Nitrogen works better than any other method, and it is absolutely not something that can be objected to by lunatics for 'pain and suffering' associated with it.

When you see proposals like this for the electric chair, or firing squads or whatnot, you can tell they aren't really serious about anything but the sound bite.
