That gives new meaning to “The Land of Milk and Honey.”

There’s no rehabbing them; they simply need killing.

From what I have read, many executions by hanging were “county fair” type events, which, IMHO, they should be. If the gummint is killing someone, in my name, I probably should witness the event.

I remember reading that the Booth conspirators were hanged in private and thinking that was rather odd. I mean, if what gummint is doing is appropriate, it seems to me it should be done in the open, in broad daylight.

On moonlit heath and lonesome bank
The sheep beside me graze;
And yon the gallows used to clank
Fast by the four cross ways.

A careless shepherd once would keep
The flocks by moonlight there,
And high amongst the glimmering sheep
The dead man stood on air.

They hang us now in Shrewsbury jail:
The whistles blow forlorn,
And trains all night groan on the rail
To men that die at morn.

- A.E. Housman, "A Shropshire Lad"

There are some things worse than death and having him put in general population would be one. I’ll bet there are guys just itching to perform jailhouse justice. But I’ll bet he’ll be kept in the isolation ward in isolation for, you know, his safety.

The Booth conspirators were hanged on at Fort McNair in Washington D.C.

There were pictures taken of the event.

There was also some doubt as to their guilt, especially Mary Surratt, the boarding house owner......but the public wanted blood...................

That is what I am saying. They took pictures but hanged them privately. Seems to be contrary to the purpose. It was seeing the picture that made me wonder.

They should put the hanging on pay-per-view and use the funds for child abuse victims. Also, auction off the right to put on the noose and pull the lever to kill him...bet someone rich would pay handsomely for the privilege.

Actually, imprisonment in general population may be better. When the word gets out he raped and killed a 9 mo. old baby, he will wish he would have been hung.

If he has important connections, the "general population" will be his best friends.

People these days don’t realize their hamburger comes from cuddly cute cows... Hanging someone publicly would destroy all these disconnected little snowflakes.

We are so disconnected from Nature itself no wonder most of the populace is so disconnected from the dangers of barbarians at the gate...

Wow. I learned something I now wish I did not know. It’s appropriate, but I wouldn’t want to be around to watch it.

Similar to Apache justice. Have the condemned man dig a hole deep enough so that, when standing, only his head is above ground. The condemned is then bound hands and feet and placed in the hole. Honey is smeared on the man’s face; the red ants are set loose on him.
