Again, Boo Hoo

  • An Arizona inmate took almost two hours to die by lethal injection on Wednesday and his lawyers said he "gasped and snorted" before succumbing in the latest botched execution to raise questions about the death penalty in the United States.

    The execution of convicted double murderer Joseph Wood began at 1:52 p.m. at a state prison complex, and the 55-year-old was pronounced dead just shy of two hours later at 3:49 p.m., the Arizona attorney general's office said.

    During that time, his lawyers filed an unsuccessful emergency appeal to multiple federal courts that sought to have the execution halted and their client given life-saving medical treatment.

    The appeal, which said the procedure violated his constitutional right to be executed without suffering cruel and unusual punishment, was denied by Justice Anthony Kennedy of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Let us be among the first to hope that every single inmate on Death Row suffers a tiny fraction of the agony they inflicted on their victims and the families of their victims via a botched execution.

Failing that, bring back Ol' Sparky. We'd happily throw the switch on every one of those, too.

Hard to understand. It should be easy for anyone with even the slightest knowledge of drugs/medications to come up with a rapid lethal dose, of a combination of legal drugs. People are offing themselves every day with prescription drugs.

I am not for lethal injections.

Lethal injections are someone's idea of an "easier way to go" approach that really makes things worse and riles up the anti-capital punishment crowd when it doesn't go right.

No one wants to wait two hours before they can declare final sentence has been carried out.

Even electricity sometimes gets botched.

A firing squad is immediate and over with in a couple of seconds.

Next case.

Provide me transportation and I'll do the executions for free. And if the law requires it be done quickly, no problem -- a Bullet To The Brain will do it. Or two for good measure.

Though I wish we could 'Get Biblical' on these maggots with an 'Eye For An Eye': The killer die the same way their victim(s) did; Stabbings, Gun shots, Strangulation, Poison, Torture, whatever. And as close as possible, the killer suffer the same amount of pain before dying, like if raped first, and take as long to die as the victim(s) did.

That would be the ultimate 'Equal Protection Under The Law' as delineated in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Why not just hang them? It's cheap. You can re-use the rope. It's 100% effective. And it's constitutionally not "unusual puinishment" because it was the only mode of punishment when the Constitution was written.

The Russians feel that an inmate knowing when he is to be executed is cruel. When a group of guards show up with leather belts you know when your time is up. They strap the inmate to the bars and put a bullet in the back of their head. They say that the inmate doesn't have to think about it for long.

When Illinois still did the right thing for murderers, the drug cocktail performed identically to what they do to you when you need bypass surgery and put you on the heart lung machine. Deep sedation, paralysis and stop the heart. Only difference between execution and that surgery is they restart the heart (usually)

Cruel and unusual? Ah, I don't think so.

Firing squad or bullet in the back of the head is too personal, and too bloody. The left wants executions, if they happen at all, to be neat, clean, quiet and quick.

I vote for the guillotine. Energy efficient, fool-proof, allows harvesting of organs for transplant, but a little too quick.

I think murderers should suffer the same as they made their victims suffer. Maybe lay the condemned on his back rather than prone and do a few half drops of the blade before finally severing the head of the POS.

Bring back the firing squads and hanging tree. Once found guilty the inmate should have 30 days to appeal. Then proceed with the execution. The reason most of these fiends are not reluctant to commit their crimes is that it takes 15 to 20 years to get a resolution. In the Old West of Judge Roy Bean once he found you guilty you went right out the back door of the court house and hung.

Was the electrocution of inmate
James Dukes in August 1962 at
Cook County jail such a "gruesome
spectacle" that the chair was
disconnected the following day ?
I know it is still intact, and
probably still functional, with
a few upgrades and is stored in
the basement of Stateville Prison
alongside the state's electric
chair. All that being said, there
is no neat and tidy way to execute
a condemned inmate,each method and
it's replacement had it's drawbacks which is why the process was moved behind closed doors with only a few witnesses. Makes one
wonder was there any problems when
Socrates The Greek Philosopher was
put to death by having to drink a potion of poison hemlock.

The reason lethal injection is not working is that the drug companies are refusing to allow their drugs to be used in executions. Bad publicity, don't you know.

The state and feds seize enough Heroin and other drugs every year. Why not put them to use? How many times have you found an OD with the syringe still in the arm?

I'm not a cop, but I play one on the teevee. Or not.

Anyhow, firing squad is probably the most humane way to execute someone.

Also you could put death row inmates in a special cell with a floor that opens to an electrifed swimming pool. Think James Bond minus the electricity. Floor opens they plop into water.....

Then after they're shocked into unconsciousness/death another adjoining tank could be opened and hungry sharks could be let in.

I'm fairly sure it would be difficult to "botch" that execution.

As always Monty Python leads the way on execution methods.

NSFW, but this strikes me as the method I would choose if I were facing the death penalty.

Catharsis for the family.

A solemn duty done for society...

Something that the hand-wringing, crying towel biting, self soiling in misdirected sympathy for the miscreant liberals just cant seem to wrap their pointy propeller heads around.

Every misdirected justice, freedom and Police hating liberal should have a big mouth breathing creepy with a hard dick climb through THEIR bedroom windows at 3am.

They're so vested in getting in the way of upright people doing what needs to be done to set this nation back on it's true course.

Criminals... Especially violent ones and those who support, aid and comfort them to the detriment and ruination of society should be made to cry and shit themselves in terror and dispair at the notion and sight of upright and learned men reading, interpreting and wielding THE LAW with hard eyes, grim discernment, cold logic and extreme prejudice...

Hark... Liberal bleeding hearts and justice obstructing tragedy pimps of every stripe just shit themselves.

We hate that decent, law abiding people are being held hostage by the loony left subverting the law for their hatred and disdain for the same.

Which is why we're afflicted of late with prison gates being replaced by revolving doors...

"To break the system, we must overwhelm it."

Loony left ideology writ big regarding the CJS... They would sooner destroy it than work to make it better.

Putting good and often time defenseless people in peril in the relentless pursuit of an agenda...
