Guffalo Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Of the 202 victims, find documentation on the longest surviving victim, that elapsed time should be the MINIMUM time for these guys to suffer until their expiration.
stuckincincy Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/07/2...l.ap/index.html I've never understood these claims of lethal injection causing pain. I've traveled to the vets' to put down two infirm cats in the past few years. While holding them in my arms, the first shot put them into peaceful, painless sleep in 5 minutes. The 2nd stopped their hearts in 30 seconds. Firing squad? Affix a 12 gauge shotgun aimed at the heart, in a jig, with a string to pull the trigger. Instantaneous.
Chef Jim Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Isn't it only painful if you're around to remember it?
buckeyemike Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Isn't it only painful if you're around to remember it? Liberal guilt.
olivier in france Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 We may have a few guillotines for sale. They have not been used since the mid 70ies but you can not find a better way to execute "without pain"
KD in CA Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Burn these fuggers at the stake. Them and every single other one of these guys we track down. Let's see how that helps recruiting.
Chef Jim Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 We may have a few guillotines for sale. They have not been used since the mid 70ies but you can not find a better way to execute "without pain" They were used up until the mid 70's? The 1970's? Cool.
olivier in france Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 They were used up until the mid 70's? The 1970's? Cool. Ranucci was the last person executed (and "guillotined") in France in 1976.
Fan in San Diego Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 We may have a few guillotines for sale. They have not been used since the mid 70ies but you can not find a better way to execute "without pain" How do we know it's painless ?
Chef Jim Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 How do we know it's painless ? When was the last time you heard someone subjected to the guillotine yell "ouch!" And shouldn't execution be painful?
agilen Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 How do we know it's painless ? We don't really know much of anything about it: http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=495
WellDressed Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I'll offer up a full draw swing with my lengthy two-iron, right to the neck; only thing I will have to do is sharpen the hell off the sole.
Ramius Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Burn these fuggers at the stake. Them and every single other one of these guys we track down. Let's see how that helps recruiting. Seconded. I'm also partial to tying these !@#$s up to a semi and dragging them down the interstate at 75mph.
Guffalo Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Seconded. I'm also partial to tying these !@#$s up to a semi and dragging them down the interstate at 75mph. Nonsense, too wasteful, use a prius, more eco-freindly
PromoTheRobot Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I've never understood these claims of lethal injection causing pain.

The 2nd stopped their hearts in 30 seconds. Firing squad? Affix a 12 gauge shotgun aimed at the heart, in a jig, with a string to pull the trigger. Instantaneous. Except that lethal injection is not the same as the stuff they use to put down animals. That stuff basically puts you to sleep before you die. The stuff they execute criminals with is totally different. First they give you a shot of something that paralyzes you. Then the stuff that kills you. The argument is that killer stuff makes you suffer like a mofo. If it weren't for the first shot, the dude would be screaming. I don't want to get into a debate over the death penalty. But if you want criminals to suffer at their death (assuming they are actually guilty) then why not throw them in a woodchipper or a vat of acid? Why go through the whole charade? PTR
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 When was the last time you heard someone subjected to the guillotine yell "ouch!" And shouldn't execution be painful? Two of my favorites: Either tied to an ant hill with honey smeared on them, or drawn and quartered. Of course, that's not how I'd want to go.
olivier in france Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 How do we know it's painless ? well at least the pain does not last long!
olivier in france Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 We don't really know much of anything about it: http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=495 that article is just frightening! It makes a failure of the chef d'oeuvre of Dr Guillotin (who invented the guillotine so that execution 'd be as painless as possible)
