I cannot imagine anything more grotesque.
I can. A young woman raped, shot in the head and buried alive or an 11 month old girl raped and murdered. Those are ghoulish. Comparatively a heart attack is humane.
Well except the crime he commited
“This is a ghoulish thread.
I cannot imagine anything more grotesque.”
Hey,,I got something, how about what Stephanie Neiman experienced? Beaten, hands taped, driven to a field, raped, watching as a hole (her grave) was dug. Shot but survived,, shotgun jammed. She lays moaning in that hole as this guy takes his time and clears the shotgun. He goes back over and shoots her again, finishing her off.
That’s kinda more grotesque if you really think about it.
It is ghoulish, except for one thing: Most of us have given our societal and moral approval to execution for crimes ranging from murder and treason to desertion.
I think we have an obligation to take a stand on the issue. I don’t like talking about it any more than the next person, but since I would rather see people accused of heinous crimes put to death in very short order other than supporting their existence for several consecutive life sentences (with taxpayer supplied food, clothing, shelter, and yes, amenities) then I am obligated to provide input and take a public stand on how I think it should be carried out.
To avoid the issue would feel cowardly to me. I am not saying you or anyone else is cowardly in this respect, but that is simply how I would feel.
