What happens when you are executed by electrocution

[isleta521 5]

for rapists, child molesters and other twisted phsycos out there, this is a very nice way to die and they've "earned" it...i have no simpathy for the people in those categories.

Why? Is there some sort of perverted satisfaction in being barbaric to barbarians? If someone spits in your face, would you feel good about yourself to do it back? In that case, you are letting others dictate your behavior.

If someone spit in my face, I dont think I would spit back. Nor would I cry and ask them why they did that or ask did you have a bad childhood so in some strange way it becomes my fault. They would most likely get a boot in their mouth and a very polite response, please do not do that again. I would not feel good about it, but I think that person would not spit again towards me or others. I am not a violent or barbaric person but I do not want to be provoked.

New Mexicos last execution was by lethal injection some years ago. A child rapist/ murderer who admitted to the hideous, terrible crime (his family turned him in). When they executed him they said he just closed his eyes and he was gone. He died a far easier death than what he delt upon his victim (or victims because he was linked to other crimes that they could not prove without a reasonable doubt). No. I dont feel good about it but is is Justice. Justice and closure for the family that has lost a young child to a child predator. My honest opinion which I am not trying to offend anyone.

Electrocution hurts? Why does that even matter given that we're killing someone? So it hurts, big fukcing deal. How is it any better to kill them in a manner that hurts less, they're still dead at the end of it aren't they?

If we accept the death penalty, we ought not whine and cry about the pain involved.

that is just my opinion.

all i have to think of is my son or husband...if someone would kill them and then walks free cause he pretended he was friggin insane and didnt know what he was doin....then i would hunt them down myself with the risk of going to prison ....that being said, i agree with the death penalty because i think of those helpless children / people there and there's no one who can do justice for them...we all think about the poor murderers. where's the justice for the ones who died??? the innocent ones?? people spend 40 years in prison and they walk free...and the justice is where exactly??? some of them have it better in prisons than they 've had it on the outside so....there is no excuse for someone who killed another human being...and even if we're not God, they still deserve to taste a little of what they've done...

But murder by itself is not a death penalty eligible crime. It has to be capital murder and very few murders are also capital murder.

in pakistan those people would suffer a hanging.

yes rape is punishable by death!

they know what they're doing

yeah sure steven, lets free all the lunatics out there and then maybe they'll kill all the amish people and all the children ....and all the innocent ones.....they will do the world some good, as its over populated already...what do you say??

gimme a break....

i know the bible says its wrong, but weirdos like that deserve no mercy....and even the electric chair is not punishment enough for what they've done.

I am in support of the death penalty.

I think death panalty today is very merciful for those who tortuer other people. Those rapist, mass merderors who torture their vistims.. makes them terrified and if not end up dead - scared for the rest of their life. Life in prison sometimes is too easy for them. I dont think they even feel the same thing their victims have to live through. I dont know what i would wish on them if someone i know and love have to be one of the victim.

I think it matters. If you had to die, would you choose a slow and painful death or

a quick and painless one? Does it matter if our soldiers are shot in Iraq or have their

heads cut off by masked men? The result is the same, but the execution matters.

How civilised.

yeah, we should just cut the heads off

Brain death occurs two minutes after oxygen deprevation. There are many reports of the heads staying "alive" after being separated from the body for a short period of time.

Mary Queen of Scots was supposed to have mouthed some words after her execution. Of course, data from that time period probably isn't the most reliable...and there wouldn't be a lip reader available for a couple of hundred years.

I don't believe in ANY form of execution. Makes us just as bad as the criminal IMO.

I reckon they should have a life of VERY VERY hard labour. Make them WORK for their crimes. Death is far too easy an out for many of them...

I disagree. I think all this debate over method of execution is just how we deal with the guilt of what we're doing. Death is death and we justify it to ourselves by telling each other "at least he died without pain". Bullsh!t. We killed him.

Let's have 'em build some more pyramids.

Damn right. They can start building right on the Whitehouse lawn...

[mawilson 2,133]

Can we just send them to Australia? Please?

I dont think death is a punishment for these people that have committed horrific crimes. That definitely does not pay back anything that they have done.

Putting them in a tiny, little cell, with enough food to survive, no light or time out... make them suffer. Yes, I know it sounds horrible. But it'd be more punishment than death. (but also it would cost more money to the State).

Well if it doesn't matter how we kill them, why not use them for medical experiments?

Test all kinds of dodgy drugs that will end up killing them.

Why not make it even more painful for them? Let's chop off their fingers, one by one,

until we run out of fingers, then move on to other body parts.

Surely it matters.

Because you'd have Human Rights Organizations all over you after you've cut the first finger...

Actually the death penalty is more expensive than life in prison. The required constitutional proceedures to qualify for the death penalty is where the cost is. from arrest to execution, the cost is anywhere from 500,000 USD to 6 million USD more (depending on state and whose research you read.) than opting for life in prison.

So cutting fingers is off limits, but electrocution is ok?
