The same people who delight in calling for Trump’s assassination and acting it out or coming up with an image of his head. Same people who cry about ‘torture’ of Islamic terrorists and why is it McVeigh died so quick yet have we ever put any of these Islamists to death yet?

If one believes in the after life as taught in the Bible so many of us do, I am sure what temporary pain the criminal felt during his execution is nothing to what he feeling now

Too bad she didn’t have the same concern for his victims.

Inert gas. Works, available, inexpensive.

Or something much more fearful, like the Spanish garrote chair (I can’t imagine).

Methods of hanging vary. In America hanging was a quick drop. In a number of other counties (in Europe for example) it was more of a strangulation process on tippy toes, often employing a wire vice a rope.

Stoning by the family of the victim is/was practiced in the middle east. Which could provide a modicum of letting go.

whipping or beating to death... Firing squad... eaten by hyenas... detonation chord... dunking... ants and honey... exposure...

All of which brings me back to the first sentence... Inert gas. It works, it’s inexpensive, it’s readily available.

Humanely is not a criteria.

Cruel and unusual are the criteria.

Lethal injection is not cruel or unusual.

The animal died so what is the issue? That was not a reaction to the med, it was FEAR OF what GOD HAD IN STORE FOR HIM!

We can use the same excuse when they are trying to pass Assisted Suicide laws, the same drugs are used.

Strange Vets have no problems with the huge beast they have to put down. Having had 3 dogs put to sleep, they just drift off and don’t wake up.

Injection is used so as to spare the onlookers the sight of blood, and loud noises. It is not clean and painless for the person executed.
Stop the farce and use something that is sure, fast, and 100% effective. The firing squad would accomplish that.
Trying to hide what happens is a self-delusion. Someone is being killed. Pretending that he just drifts off into pleasant sleep is delusional.

I believe the label on those execution drugs reads “Side effects may include uncontrollable greasy discharge...”

Amen. Why waste time with all of the nonsense over which drugs make it painless?

Some rope, a branch or scaffold, and the condemned; minimum assembly required, and one size fits most.

These SoBs sit on death row for years after they deprived the lives of others, with an endless supply of the gullible, the nefarious, and the greedy looking to keep them stealing oxygen and resources from the taxpayer teat for as long as possible.

If they're convicted they go to death row. The can appeal to the Appellate court; if the Appellate court doesn't see fit to hear and adjudicate the appeal within 5 years the condemned walks the green mile.

Maybe these murderers should get to pick their means of execution. Maybe the choices could be lethal injection, firing squad, or hanging could be the selection. As long as the end result is death, who cares how they go. I think firing squad would be the most sure, and the fastest.

At the time of writing this post, the “longs” typo has not been corrected by any proofreader on the AP website.
