Maybe it's not a good Christian attitude but, the killer didn't care if his victim suffered why should anyone care about him?

Is it just me.......

They could make the punishment fit the crime . . . shoot him and bury him alive.

This is how I imagine it went down

Bad Guy:  "Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle,  it's the big one.  I'm comin' Elizabeth!"
Chuck:  "Quick, grab the defibrillator."
Larry:  "Naw, I think this one will work itself out."

Also, wouldn't a 170 gr. hot lead injection be just as quick and lethal as these drugs?

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

I think we should have the death penalty in every state and use the guillotine. If they know they'll lose their heads instead of spending life in prison maybe the bad guys will think twice. Just maybe.

I was thinking the same exact thing.  Mankind has been killing each other for a very longtime I would think this is one thing that should be kind of easy by now.

I think this is probably intentional to try to sway the public opinion against capital punishment.

I have had that thought before....... and these days, I could see it...seems no tactic is too absurd any more.

If not the guillotine, try a Halifax Gibbet.....the results are quite smashing.   ;)

Saw a movie one time filmed in India or someplace like that where the convicted individual got to lead an elephant to the execution site, put his head on a block, and then have the elephant squish it like a bug!!!!!  Works for me.

JMHO

Darn, I think even the over priced injections would be cheaper than keeping an elephant .
Just stick to a bullet in the neck or a rope, it's simpler, cheaper, and a LOT less clean up.  ;D
