Georgia lawmaker Doug Teper (Democrat) has proposed a bill to replace the state’s electric chair with the guillotine. Teper’s reasoning? It would allow for death-row inmates as organ donors, he says, since the “Blade makes a clean cut and leaves vital organs intact.”

I actually think thats a pretty good way to go out. You'd be dead before you knew what happened.

I would also cut down in the power bill that the jail gets monthly.

I support.

So... does anyone kill people like the great state of Texas? Last time I checked we were the only place in the triple digits.

I'm for it. Why the heck not. It would be over a heck of a lot quicker than injection or electrocution.

This seems barbaric. So does the electric chair though...

I thought Georgia had already done away with the chair and replaced it with lethal injection five or ten years ago.

You found my favorite site lately!

quote:

The use of guillotines for “governmental purposes” was lobbied for and passed in the U.S. Congress- The information we received is that 15,000 are currently stored in Georgia and 15,000 in Montana- Are the beheadings by muslims today meant to desensitize us against U.S. Government beheadings in the future?



eta- it was on the site 6 days ago.

I'm not for the death penalty anyways because it costs way more to electrocute someone than to keep them in prison for life, plus it is subjective based on the jury and there are factors like race and gender where certain people are executed more or punished more for the same crimes as people who don't get the death penalty.

This happened in 1996, I don't even think Teper is still in office.

Georgia stopped using the electric chair in October of 2001.
