for a very long time:

And also, apparently pharmaceuticals are playing the political game over the death penalty.

My 2 cents: there is no humane way to die, because to be human is to live. If you want to enforce a death penalty, get over qualms about humanity and just pick the method that's quickest and most cost effective.

And also, frick our justice system for having such long delays between hearings, trials, incarceration, and execution.

Bring back "Old Sparky" as 8 of the lethal injection states also have electrocution as their backup.

SEC school states : Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee

non SEC school states : Oklahoma (B12) and Virginia (ACC)

Not sure if serious.....


The gov't can't even get a letter delivered most of the time and you want them in charge of determining guilt with a punishment of death? frick that. Jury of my peers! Sure, as long as they can find Canada on a map. Amirite?

Watch John Oliver's takes on Bail and Elected Judges. If we have any idea what we're doing in this country, we should be ashamed of ourselves.

Whenever the death penalty comes up, I can't help but think about this stat:

I feel like the men who have been exonerated after years on death row would disagree with your sentiment.

I'd rather 5 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man be punished. And I'm pro-death penalty.

Good.

He should sit in a lonely cell the rest of his days to think about what he did.

I get your point, but if that's the standard to go by, there shouldn't even be a death penalty. There's no point in keeping a death row inmate locked up for most of their lives only to finally kill them once they have reached a ripe old age - all in the small likelihood they may be exonerated at some point.

Do or do not, there is no try.

Put him in the general prison population . That will solve the problem.

i'm in this camp. i don't love the death penalty and only want it when we've got everything short of a confession, multiple eye witnesses, and a video. But i do think there are just some people better wiped off the planet.

although when it seems pretty obvious we got the guy and he's confessing to it all.... a .45 to the noggin seems to be the most efficient thing here. be done with it.


don't drag this out causing the families anguish and taxpayers more money.

Saudi method works well. a bit messy but leaves a big impression.

Chinese method is also cheap and effective. 1 bullet in the head. Bill to the parents.

I'd rather see the guy spend the rest of his life in some SC shithole max. Less expensive than the death penalty with all its costly delays, plus … it'll give the kid a chance to interact with a lot of African-Americans with whom he can share his experience.

They really need to go back to public executions. That shite would be bigger than Mayweather/Pacquiao PPV.
