Be diplomatic. Give 'em a choice.
Ol' sparky.. or the firing squad.
To: Brad from Tennessee
I think it should be left up to the family of the victim.

Firing squad ? “liberal, left-wing radicals,” ?
Nice. The words go together like birds of a feather .

Good.
Public executions should also be brought back so that in death lessons can be taught .
To: Brad from Tennessee
No matter what method is used, the left will always claim it's cruel and unusual. Perhaps what is needed here is a definition of terms; let the Supremes tell us exactly what makes something cruel and what is unusual. Once it has been decided, any means of execution can be measured against that standard. Such parameters as pain threshold, duration of pain, general trauma, etc. can be taken into account.
My guess is that no one will fight harder than the liberals against eradicating ambiguity because they do their best work in an atmosphere of confusion.

It’s probably the most fast and humane way; a bullet to the head.
To: Brad from Tennessee
To get around the “cruel and unusual” argument, they should use starvation/dehydration. The left swears that’s euphoric.

I’m in love with that idea.
And with the efficiency of a firing squad. Will save the taxpayers some money.

Historically, execution has not been found to be ‘cruel and unusual’ per the Constitution although some methods have been found to be.

What ever gets the job done—poison, hammer to the head, or the firing squad.—Its it was good enough for Emperor Maximilian its good enough for our criminals.
To: WashingtonFire; All
I agree. Public executions (not lethal injection) would have a major impact in reducing crime.
See a perp's head explode from a .308 round would be a deterrent to a life of crime.

A bullet to the heart is actually the most guaranteed and quickest way. Unpredictable things can happen with a head shot.

Funny how Democrats are against the death penalty yet for assassination and violence against Trump and his supporters!
