A better way to execute capital punishment.

First off capital punishment. Yea or nay? I see nothing wrong with offing murderers and others who commit horrible crimes. I would go so far as to say rapists should be executed depending on the severity of the -blam!-. Why in the hell can we not just put a bullet in the head of someone found guilty of murder? Instead we go through a process horrifically complicated and often severely painful execution like injection and electrocution. A bullet is cheap. After the conviction set a date for the shooting and be done with it.

  • The process to ensure that the person is guilty because you retract a death sentence after it's been carried out. And injection is supposed to be painless, and as far as I know the electric chair has been discontinued

  • The actual killing part isn't what is expensive. It's the process to find out whether the guy did it or not that is so expensive. And reasonably so. You don't want to accidentally kill someone who is innocent. Which unfortunately happens more than it should.

  • Just stick them in a room for a year with "The Song That Doesn't End" playing on an endless loop. No need for capital punishment. They will never commit crimes after that.

    • Nay. People have been wrongly convicted in the past, we shouldn't risk it just in case.

    • [quote]First off capital punishment. Yea or nay?[/quote]Nay. Life in prison without parole, yes. It doesn't happen frequently, but we have had cases of executing people who were later found to be innocent. I'd rather err on the side of caution and not execute anyone, instead of risking the chance of executing innocent people.

      • People should only be killed for things that they are either caught redhanded doing or that there's a 100% chance that they commited the crime (DNA samples, etc)

        • 1. No. Capital punishment is barbaric, cruel and inhumane. I couldn't be happier it's been illegal here for years. It should most definitely remain illegal. 2. Because it takes a toll on the executioner. This has been extensively studied and documented in the past. It's part of why genocidal regimes (such as WW2 Germany) stopped using firing squads and executions by firearm. It's one thing to have a soldier shoot someone during a battle, but having them put a bullet through the head of a defenseless man or woman at point blank range? It's bloody, it's messy and it's violent, and it causes psychological harm to the executioner. There's also no guarantee it's quick and painless, as you imply.

            Pneumatic guillotine. It's 2017. We can do better than gravity. An opportunity could be taken to both improve the wheel and build a better mousetrap. No more heads hanging off by a strand of flesh. No more partial beheadings. Quick. More humane than a botched execution.

          • In the case of capital punishment if it is sentenced then the victim of the crime( or next if kin in murder cases) should be the ones to execute them. If they decide not to go through with it then throw the -blam!-ers in jail for they rest if they're lives [spoiler]i want to try some thing Cuntserlotor Cunterlotor[/spoiler]

          • Honestly I don't know how I feel about capital punishment. People who do really very very terrible shit should be punished but the way the are executed seems pretty brutal.

            • I don't know what happened to firing on them, it's quick and rather painless (as long as you can aim). Not to mention in places like Florida and Texas there are gun stores everywhere, so you're not going to run out of ammunition all the time.

              • Tbh, a bullet in the head is the the most peaceful way to kill someone, as weird as that sounds. I'd rather that happen honestly then get my head chopped off or put to life in a confined room and mentally hurt myself.

              • I see what your saying. I feel as though we need to find out the quickest painlessest death possible and use that. Maybe something that just shuts down the brain? But a bullet works too assuming you don't miss the vital parts and lobotomize the guy. The problem with these vague concepts with laws is that it's all relative. For example being locked in a room with clowns is certainly unusual. Furthermore any new form of execution is unusual as it's brand new.

              • So all lives don't matter... A bullet is too quick. They should do something like the original twilight zone episode (s03) I believe. From what I remember husband kills pool boy and wife, bit for some reason he is re living it over and over. It turns out his sentence is re living the day for a ridiculous amount of time, al while in a coma.

                  The thing is the current laws are still bad when it comes to murders, even things like self defence can make you a murderer if the prosecutor can prove you went too far and didn't need to kill someone. Also death is a mercy compared to life in prison, there's no hell to send people to you're just doing them a favour and if you do for whatever reason believe in a hell, what ever happened to god deciding who lives and dies or something?

                  I'm fine with it for murderers and rapists so long as there is more than 'beyond reasonable doubt' evidence. Slow and painful, no mercy. Even human experimentation on them! Medical, psychological etc. They've forfeited their life in my eyes.
