US Lethal injection crim takes 2 hours to die
Discussion
Inquiry into what went wrong
Chap on death row for murder of his girlfriend and her father. Lethal injection given but takes 2 hours to kill him instead of 10 minutes.
A relative of the deceased said:
"This man conducted a horrific murder and you guys are going, let's worry about the drugs,'' said Richard Brown. "Why didn't they give him a bullet?"

If it were my daughter killed I would be very happy to insert a cannula and pump it full of poison.
Absolutely no problem whatsoever.
I would feel it my duty to avenge her death.
So you believe the death sentence should be about revenge?Absolutely no problem whatsoever.
I would feel it my duty to avenge her death.
Do you want a death sentence to be torture?
I not sure what I think or what the law should be on the death sentence. However I could not rest until my daughters murderer was dead. And as said i would happily push the button given the chance.
that's just how I feel about it now when I think about in now. I can only speculate

I refuse to believe that chem-tech for a quick cheap death is not on hand; I know for sure it is. That aside, the electric chair, old sparky we called ours at the Louisiana State Pen, is not without trauma and messiness. I still feel the correctly placed bullet is the quickest method. It is also the cheapest, especially if you send the bill to the next of kin.
That said, I sort of lean toward no death penalty but a miserable life in prison. I know it costs much more but sitting there, forced to watch reruns of Piers Morgan or something similar (is there something similar?)for the rest of one's natural life would have one begging for death.
I think you sum it up nicely there are circumstances where it may seem best form of punishment not all killers deserve it but life can be really hard I say a guy on Trevor Mcdonald show who was in prison since 15 he was now 40 with no parol thats got to be really hard.That said, I sort of lean toward no death penalty but a miserable life in prison.

It's like splitting up with a girlfriend. Tough for a bit but soon forgotten

Hang them and then their is no issue about using the 'wrong drugs' ........
I think the drug business is aimed at ending their life without suffering. Ie the sedative to put them to sleep and then the big hitter to stop their heart.Hanging them would be seen as inhumane!

I say NO to state sponsored murder, no matter what the crime.
OH digs me in the ribs "What about teflon Tony?"
Well there are exceptions ?
Totally agree!OH digs me in the ribs "What about teflon Tony?"
Well there are exceptions ?
Leaving that aside, one certainty about the death penalty is it doesn't stop people killing each other. Since the penalty is (a) controversial, and (b) doesn't add anything, the world is better off without it.
It won't stop people from killing one another but it may well deter many. It will certainly stop the convicted killing anyone else thats for sure.
How do you know the world is better off without it? Is that just a gut feeling, a personal view or do you have some data?
