In my book, it did take longer:

Diaz, 55, was executed Wednesday for the 1979 murder of the manager of a Miami topless bar.

That tells me that it took almost 30 years too long. :frown:

While I'm opposed to capital punishment, I've accepted it as a given in our society. Having accepted it, I am then forced to wonder why we go to such great lengths to make this punishment as costly and inefficient as possible.

You know, a shot in the head costs 1 bullet, and you can reuse the shell. As an added bonus to the sensitive types, the executionee is guarateed never to feel a thing, and it's so quick that they're dead before the sound of the shot (mere inches from their head) reaches their ear.

Quick - painless - cheap. Why don't we do this? You can hire a janitor to scoop up all the brains, skull pieces, hair, teeth and eyeballs and put them in a small bucket that can be thrown in a hole with the rest of the body, or burned with it.

Or they can do it the smart way and have some sort of receptical on the other side of the head which catches the tissue and debris for easy disposal.


Hell, a guillotine would be better. The only maintenance it would require is occasional sharpening, and lubing the grooveshafts. It is also very intimidating in appearance - so it might serve as a better deterrent than a lethal injection, which appears almost pleasant in comparison.


If they're totally set on using lethal injections - why bother with such a complex concoction of chemicals.... a syringe full of glass cleaner and lye right in the carotid artery just about oughtta do it. It would cost about 17 cents per execution, and they'd be just as dead, if not deader.

The should do it just like the good old days, either by hanging them or by chopping off their heads. You could charge people to come and watch it, plus you could make a ton of money on Pay Per View.

The scalded-cat reaction of the defense and the bleeding hearts is simply more grandstanding. IMHO, the correct reaction is to either ignore them or see how they like being murder victims.

I'm all for the feet-first-through-the-woodchipper method of execution, or maybe death-by-scalding. Or how about we take death row inmates, 2 at a time, and let them fight each other to the death gladiator style with all kinds of cool weapons. The winner gets the easy-out method of lethal injection. Put it on pay-per-view.

I can't even believe the family is boo hooing about this. The guy killed someone and because he got an owey look on his face before he died that we should bat an eye over this. Should have ripped his body apart with a pair of cuticle cutters starting with his eyeballs. No sympathy for him at all. I am only sorry that ............... okay rethought that. I ain't sorry for nothing.

I say tie him to two hourses and have them run in differnt directions. Laying on the ground with no limbs and bleeding to death has got to be a prety bad way to go.

Hell, if you wanted him to suffer, they could have just made him read pingrr's or tiggs posts. :shrug:

That would tie up the Supreme Court with petitions for "Cruel and Unusual Punishment" violations.

In the old days it was done for all to see as a deterrent. No sense in charging for it.:yay:

I like it. Wouldn't hurt to have a blow torch handy for additional pain additives. JMO

Like I said - I've accepted it as a given - complaining about it is akin to complaining about the tides.


And since we're stuck with, we should be more pragmatic about it.
