Just make sure they are dead. -— Cover their mouth with a pillow while they are sleeping.
As much as I distrust the state to put people to death, I also realize we have a lot of vermin who need to be exterminated.
Sounds good to me. I’ve always been partial to the guillotine.
Use .45’s 230 grn, JHP and share 20 gauge loaded with sabots
Be dead right there and then.
You ain’t survivng those loads.
I’m ok with a giant cement bowl and a very large cement ball pushed in at a very high rate of speed
Firing squad- members to be decided by lottery, at $1 a ticket.Proceeds to pay squad’s travel expenses, excess goes to the victim’s family or charity of their choice. Cost to the state- nothing.
This is the way they used to do it here. Note the condemned has his back facing the executioner.
Uniquely, Thailand used a single executioner with one stand mounted machine gun per prisoner, to put murderers and drug traffickers to death.
Over 500 people were shot in Thailand between 1937, when shooting replaced beheading and October 2003, when Thailand moved to lethal injection as its sole method of execution.
All those sentenced to death there were held at Bang Kwang maximum security prison, about 20 miles outside Bangkok. The virtually soundproof execution chamber, known as the "Place to Relieve Suffering," contained two wooden crosses and two stand mounted Heckler & Koch 9mm machine guns.
Prisoners were confined in heavy leg irons from the time of sentence to the time of execution, which could be anything from a few weeks to a few years and were told of their fate only hours before they were shot.
On the day of execution, the prisoner was taken from their cell, photographed and fingerprinted. They were then taken to the execution chamber and handcuffed to a cross like wooden frame with their back to the machine gun, four meters behind them. A white cloth blindfold is applied and the hands tied with a sacred Buddhist cord. Flowers are hung from the prisoners hands as an offering to Buddha and a canvas screen is pulled between the condemned and the gun. A target is fixed onto the screen level with the prisoners heart and the gun aimed at the centre of the target. The executioner takes up his position, watching another member of the execution team who raises a red flag, and on the signal from the prison governor, the flag is dropped and the executioner fires a fully automatic burst of 15 rounds into the victims heart.
sounds like just the thing to use on criminal politicians
Electric chairs are green.
Why don’t they look at a different alternative; inert gas asphyxiation.
“After a number of accidents in which humans suffocated in nitrogen without any warning, the suggestion was made in 1995 that hypoxic atmospheres be used for the humane killing of humans.
Execution by nitrogen asphyxiation was discussed briefly in print as a theoretical method of capital punishment in a National Review article, “Killing with kindness capital punishment by nitrogen asphyxiation”.
In a televised documentary in 2007, the British political commentator (and former Member of Parliament) Michael Portillo examined execution techniques in use around the world and found them unsatisfactory; his conclusion was that nitrogen asphyxiation would be the best method.
Nitrogen asphyxiation is not currently used by any government as an execution method.”
It’s worth a look, I’d say.

Complexity should be eliminated.
Hanging is cheap and very effective.
I tried to ask Saddam Hussein but he is very dead.
Public hanging from the village square! The scum will get the message.
"Let's do it."
Last words of Gary Gilmore, January 17, 1977, executed by firing squad, Draper, Utah.
"Wyoming has only one inmate on death row, 68-year-old convicted killer Dale Wayne Eaton."
Yep. It's that whole middle-name-Wayne thing again.
It’s a heck of a lot quicker and cheaper.
What’s wrong with the drugs that the vet uses to put Fido down?
If the drug is humane enough for an animal, then it should be fine for death row scum.
All you need is a horse, a tree, and a rope.
Crimes throughout the entire U.S. and U.S. territories will, greatly, increase after the next round of amnesty for illegal immigrants happens.
Getting ready for a big surge in customers when prosecutions begin for Obama, Holder and their entire crew?
What is really needed is for a conservative to be chairmen of the Senate and House judiciary committees, and to declare states to be “competent authorities” in carrying out executions, so the methods used are no longer open to federal judicial oversight.
This is part of a larger judicial reform on the subject of the death penalty, which includes:
1) Moving all death penalty appeals to the head of the federal docket of the judge hearing them.
2) That delays in appellate hearings be limited to one month each for the defense, prosecution, and at the discretion of the judge.
3) That unless evidence exonerates the defendant, or court officers in the criminal trial have engaged in criminal misconduct, the federal judge cannot overturn a sentence, or return it to the trial court with instructions to overturn. Instead if he finds in favor of the defendant, the case should be returned to the trial court for reconsideration, without recommendation. If the trial court affirms the sentence, then the issue is closed.
4) The intention is that from the date of sentencing, the most delay any convict should experience before execution is five years, instead of decades.
