Methods of Capital Punishment

[floppa21]

OH!!!

I read this page only. No reply was serious.

Bullet to the head with a bill to the family for the bullet. There ya go. Fast, cost efficient, and sufficiently rude. (at least to survining family members)

Nothing tops the plain, nostalgic old-school style of beating the perp to perdition with the blunt end of a rifle.

The guilty's family viewing the spectacle is optional.

Ah but think of the ratings if it came on primetime TV. Nothing beats a good, old fashioned hanging by rope till you are dead.

 

[CurtSibling]

Watch them kick!

Yeah but you can only do it once.

Hey! What about an 'electric noose'...Now, that would be good viewing!

Tyin' them to an "enraged moose" would be better viewin'

Capital punishment is wrong, Criminals should be left on
an icefloe in Hudsons Bay to reflect on their misdeeds and
help monitor the Polar bear population.

Simon had two good method of execution; both are cheap and mostly fast. In most cases, they are enough. The electric chair, the injection and the gas are too costly; the gas also un-ecological.

Another proposal: for executing the most ugly types (mass murderers, pedophiles and such), drowning them in water is also a cheap solution. Some perps deserve very much suffering, and this method provides it without further efforts.

Boil them in oil. Will need some infrastructure. Think crispy !

Frying up a big Mac takes on a new meaning.

why, we will film it--then after a year or two we can have a fox tv special, the best of beatings and hang'ens ( if we have "when animals attack and cops" we can have this)

 

[CurtSibling]

Actually, I can see this thread being executed!

 

[Perfection]

You know, throwing someone off a cliff requires no materials whatsoever!

 

[floppa21]

Let's take a trip down to the quarry?

 

[cgannon64]

None.

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves the whole world blind and toothless."

 

[Perfection]

Exactly cgannon, that's why you kill 'em! So they can't reciprocate!

 

[CurtSibling]

Better blind and toothless than letting the guilty off the hook!

Arm the rifles, power up the electric noose!

 

[cgannon64]

You missed the point, Perfection. Anyway, if i had to choose my way to go, I guess I'd choose lethal injection. Or maybe a bullet to the back of the head.

With syringes full of poison embedded in it.

Anyway Simon, sorry for the non-serious course your thread has taken. I know this is a topic close to your heart

The hanging technique has a lot going for it. As you said, it can be quick and effective, or with slight modification, relatively slow. It can also be made into a public spectacle and have the added humiliation of drawing and quartering. So it's very versatile. It also has a rich history behind it which it would be foolish to ignore.

I can't say anything for the imagination with the gas chamber and lethal injection. Don't like them at all.

the guillotine also has a rich history but i feel that it isn't quite on the same level as hanging.

but again, the firing squad/shot to back of the head is effective, quick and cost effective, but it doesn't always give you everything you need.

I think though that a death suited to the crime is also an option.
