The guillotine is the method I'd choose, were I subject to such a penalty.

My favorite French revolutionary, Danton, said before being guillotined: "Show my head to the people. It is worth seeing."

Also, "we gotta kill these people now otherwise they might win their appeal before our death dope goes bad" is a shitty legal argument.

Apologize for double posting.

Me, if I had to be executed, I'd want to go out like Land Phil in Beerfest.

I think they should take their time and still inject the expired lethal injection and see what would happen. If it fails, just kill them by a bullet to the head or whatever.

I've always been partial to just tying someone up and tossing them into a river. Its cheap and they get to suffer, win-win

They may as well. It's not like it matters if they're going to die anyway.

Isn't this America? Don't we have guns? I coulda sworn we had like a shitload of guns.

Firing squads are pretty hard on the executionors, though.
That's why most of the time only one or two of the shooters had actual live rounds in their firearms and the rest were blanks.
That way it was much harder to determine who actually killed the prisoner.
Shooting and killing has an effect on you, even if it is just and the "victim" a piece of human garbage.

The real story here is that we still don't pronounce Arkansas as Are-Kansas.

WHY?

The real story here is that we still don't pronounce Arkansas as Are-Kansas.

WHY?

No one is exactly sure but eventually in 1881 there was a duel to the death between two Arkansas senators to settle the matter once and for all. "Ar-can-saw" guy won out and upon his opponent's death the state's legislature passed a bill declaring his pronunciation official.

Edit: Correction, the other senator lived he just got his ass handed to him really, really, hard.

Deliberately having a different is a thing a pretentious hipster or someone with delusions of grandeur would do.

I never quite understood the peculiar insistence on high-tech ways to off murderers in the US. It just seems to open up a whole bunch of headaches when you could do the job with a rope or a pistol for cents on the dollar.

I guess having your job be shooting someone in the head with a gun might lead to eventual psychiatric or emotional problems, but honestly lethal injection is simply a bit "prettier", I don't think it really helps the person who's doing the injecting. They know they're killing someone with a slight delay. It's like a slow bullet being shot out of a gun instead of a fast one.

I say build a carbon monoxide chamber and execute people that way. No need for any fancy drugs or anything else. You just get drowsy and nod off, then die. But I can already hear the bleeding hearts screaming that it's something the Nazis used and therefore inhumane or some shit.

With a firing squad, they sometimes used to load one of the guns with a dummy cartridge instead of a real bullet. I doubt this made much difference, either.

Oh neat. So you can drink yourself to sleep while fervently repeating the mantra "mine was the blank... mine was the blank..."

Gas Chambers were used as execution methods in the US. The main problem was dosage, ventilation, and that sometimes it took hours to kill someone.

Obviously, we need to modernize the Firing Squad by turning it into a sentry gun.

Or bring back Crucifixion. If it's good enough for our god, it's good enough for the slimebag of the day.
