I see what you did there.

Would that be heading down the wrong path?

I like my way better....no consumables used at all! Just sharpen the knife once in a while.

Agreed but why sharpen the knife? A nice rusted, jagged edge encrusted in the black, dried blood of previous felons is a nice touch.

I like the guillotine . No doubt about the effectiveness of the head in the basket .

Firing squad is the way to go without a doubt.

Firing squad:
1. Death is instantaneous with a well placed shot. In the event it wasn't a head shot, with sudden drop in blood pressure from an artery being hit the persons gunna be out cold lickity-split.
2. Bullets are cheap
3. As mentioned, there's something much more psychologically satisfying about it.

Injection:
1. Chemicals are expensive and having to hire a doctor to oversee the injection isn't cheap.
2. Can take a long time to kill and there have been many cases of there being a mess and the execution taking forever due to not being able to find a vein.

You could also just give the perp a massive heroin OD. That'll kill them for sure and there's no issue of it being cruel.

I'd rather go out that way by far. Fuck being injected with something that they don't really know what it does.

Plus, there is some sort of satisfaction if a beastly criminal is blasted away, rather than injected. It's purely psychological (to me), but it gives some sort of peace. The mother fucker is dead. Not dry heaving and gasping for air.

right. Leaving the same way that got them in the chair.

Exactly. However, you might be surprised to hear firing squads are starting to come back. I believe Missouri is voting on it returning, and Florida just made it an option again.

Firing squad room in Utah, they used it in 2010.

Injections that have a slow killing process are definitely worse, but people automatically think guns=bad evil satan torture thug attack sinister death machine

and yet most people think that's cruel and unusual.

This is definitely true. The simplest way is a bullet to the head. Though messy, it is a sure thing that it was quick.

The Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. I'm pretty damn sure there were plenty of public hangings that occurred after that into the 1900s. So, the modern interpretation of "cruel & unusual" differs vastly from what the founding fathers thought was cruel & unusual.

Boo-hoo-hoo. Agonal breathing. Move along.
