Fascinating, in a very weird way. I suppose hanging is a very effective way to kill people since so many amateurs do themselves in that way. That always amazes me, I could never figure it out! Me & Jeffrey Epstein, we’d never do that.

Humane is the issue? HAH! Murdering done by the convicted perps is not even in the realm of ‘humane’ to their victims. I can lower the cost dramatically, and guarantee termination: just start them on a succinyl choline drip and let a half pint flow into their vein.

A Nurse anesthetist, not an ologist.

[jocon307]

Yeah. I also once heard some doctor proposed executing people with heroin. It is definitely lethal at the right (over)dose. And, you know, it’s not bad while it’s happening.

This didn’t sound like the worst idea to me, but I’m an old 70s hippie!

“Gilmore was a dumbass...”

HAHA, he certainly was if he lived in the USA and didn’t think they’d find, what 6? 8? 12? guys that would shoot a bullet at him to kill him?

This is a true schlemiel!

I recall seeing old film of German soldiers executed during the Battle Of The Bulge. They were infiltrators wearing American uniforms.

I was surprised how quickly they were turned into rag dolls. Appeared to die instantly.

"1996: Bill Bailey, the Last American Hanged.." Up 'til then!😎

[Tijeras_Slim]

Seen the same, amazing how fast it took the starch out of them.

[Macoozie]

“You were put out by a nurse anesthesiologist”

Actually, it’s “Nurse Anethetist”.

[higgmeister]

Execution needles are basically administered by people off the street. Doctors and nurses typically don’t participate.

Untold multiple millions of people have had injections "administered by people off the street" (often themselves), including for diabetics, vaccination of allergy sufferers, life threatening allergic reaction injections, and various other drug users across the nation.

But you don't think it is right for misanthropic creeps on death row?

[Bonemaker]

I rather enjoy propofol!😎 In fact, I willed myself into a hernia so I could have some Monday AM!

Fair trial and a fine hangin’

I would suppose having 11 30.06 rounds ripping through your body at one time would do the trick.

[Bommer]

That’s gives me a Better idea to deal with Schiff and Nadler - impalement!

[Bull Snipe]

Would prefer the old English sentence for Treason

“You are to be dragged on a hurdle to the place of execution. There you to be hanged by the neck, being alive, cut down, your privy members and intestines removed from your body and burned before your eyes. Your head cut off, and your body cut into quarters. Your body and head to be disposed of at the pleasure of his King’s majesty. May God have mercy on your soul.”

I was merely proposing a possible reason as to why the guy I was responding to had such an easy time going out.

My only opinion on the form of death penalty is that if it were I’d prefer firing squad.

I had a colonoscopy a couple of weeks ago. I was wheeled into the operatory, given an injection and I was out like a light. Anything after that point would have quickly done the job without cruelty.

Put 'em under, remove any parts usable for transplant, drain all blood for transfusions, and dispose of the remainder however you wish.

I suppose hanging is a very effective way to kill people since so many amateurs do themselves in that way.

Every holding cell should be equipped with a rope and a step stool. Imagine the savings!

[jocon307]

“Imagine the savings!”

LOL, now, now, be nice!
