Attorneys for a condemned killer whose execution was stopped last year after 25 minutes of unsuccessful needle sticks are once again recommending the firing squad as an alternative.

...executioners weren't able to establish successful IV lines when it came time to put Campbell to death.

Soulless and bloodless. Maybe he is an actual demon of some kind.

Hang him. The state can reuse the rope.

Sorry but I am old fashioned. In my book the state only gets one shot (pun intended) at killing you. If they can’t do in 25 minutes then you just one the death row lottery. What was done to him was cruel and unusual. His death sentence should be commuted to life w/o parole. Throw him in the deepest darkest cell and then lose the key.

No mention of the Mr. Campbell's crime in the article, so I'll quote his Wikipedia page:

Alva Earl Campbell, Jr.

On April 2, 1997, Campbell, feigning paralysis and thus in a wheelchair, was transported to court on an aggravated robbery charge. Upon arrival, he overpowered the sheriff's deputy responsible for transporting him, stole her gun, and fled the courtroom. Campbell then carjacked 18-year-old Charles Dials, forcing him to drive for three hours. During that time, several mentions of the pursuit of Campbell by police were made over the radio, prompting Dials to ask Campbell if the person being pursued was him.

After three hours, Campbell demanded that Dials get on the floor of his truck. Dials refused, prompting Campbell to shoot him twice, killing him. Campbell fled the vehicle before being caught by police shortly after.

70 years ago, Nazi monsters bit into small pills and were dead in seconds. What happened to that technology?

How about dumping him in a kiddie pool, then tossing in an electric appliance?

Or just throwing him off the Golden Gate Bridge?

Or just hang him?

How hard is this?

Maybe we should ask ISIS for ideas. They don’t seem to have a problem in this area.

All this crap about lethal injections is stupid. Hire a junky to provide some street heroin laced with carfentanil and administer a massive overdose. He’ll know how to find a vein, and it will only cost the state a few bucks.

Hey, this is America! Don’t they get three strikes at least before they are out?

Doesn’t The Smithsonian have old sparky? I am sure it could be made operational in a few hours.

Heck, we have enough serial killers in our jails that we don’t need to import foreign consultants. I’m sure one of them that is serving multiple life sentences would be happy to do the job in exchange for an extra fruit cup in the cafeteria or something.
