Novel execution method just announced:
http://www.fox23.com/news/oklahoma-attorney-general-announces-new-execution-method-for-state/715957820 Question for DCUM: (Assuming capitol punishment itself is NOT prohibited as cruel and unusual ) - do you think giving the condemned prisoner Nitrogen gas is cruel and unusual? Why or why not? |
| Not cruel and unusual as meant by the Framers. Next. |
| Maybe you can describe what death nitrogen gas is like. |
| I am anti-death penalty. All methods are barbaric. |
How do you capitol punish somebody? |
| What was the crime? Child rapists can be tortured repeatedly for years and then left to die a slow, painful death. |
But they aren’t. |
The American Veterinary Medical Association forbids its use to euthanize animals. |
Can you give us an idea of why? |
| Why isn't a guillotine the preferred option? Isn't that the most humane method? |
We could stream it on LiveLeak.com too for a pay per view fee too. Keep the ideas coming |
That is not a constructive or amusing response. If you have nothing to contribute, kindly stay out of the discussion while the adults are talking. |
I am the one that posted the guillotine question. Just came back to see what, if any, response had been put forth. I was serious about the question given the topic and I can't think of another option that is so sure and swift. Would there even be time for pain given the fact you severed the spinal column? I have read there is some reflex movement afterwards but haven't seen where anyone cried out in pain once the head was separated. Personally I prefer life in prison laboring with the proceeds of said labor defraying the cost of confinement with funds also provided to a victims fund. |
You force them to watch congressional committee meetings 24/7 for life. |

How about Trump's idea of the death penalty for the more egregious drug dealers? If the death penalty is legal, that is a group that truly should be executed given the destruction they cause.
Let us follow the example of countries like Malaysia. They make no bones about it: if you enter Malaysia as a drug dealer, you will hang and it does not matter where you are from. It seems to work there as a deterrent. |
