Fuck this “painless death” bullshit
If you are sentenced to death... it should be painful as fuck....feed these assholes into a wood chipper feet first
That’s not “cruel and unusual”
It’s not cruel because it matches the level of cruelty they showed their victims......
Burning someone for not paying their taxes.... that’s cruel.
Painfully killing a child rapist.... that is not cruel
My memory sucks so bear with me. Somebody wrote a book, I think it was Tom Clancy. In that book, was a doctor who'd lost a brother in 9/11 and he wanted to "do his part" so he came up with a med cocktail that induced a heart attack. Or at least, induced heart attack symptoms. (I hear that is very painful, and NO, I've no interest in learning this myself)
The "end the symptom process and 'bring him back' process" was described to be "not pleasant" either. The point of it all, was after a number of controlled cycles of this process, the 'patient' would learn explicitly that this was totally under the control of the applicator. So questions could be asked, and if the answers weren't the correct ones, or if answers were evaded,,,, go for another ride.
How many rides could a person endure?
The point of my blathering is, if such are/were actually possible, then this too sounds like a VIABLE and MONEY-MAKING venture for both the victim and/or the victim's families. Because as suggested by others, tickets could be purchased for spectating, as well as raffle-tickets could be sold for being one of the 'ride controllers'.... even if it were the symbolic "push this button to start the next round" type of thing.
Many here will remember that I've said for years that chain-gangs should be brought back. There is so much road maintenance, civic cleaning, and simple gravel demand that many of the districts costs should be cut exponentially. Which-in-turn is a MASSIVE tax cut to the districts constituents. Who really wants to pay 3.7 million dollars for a 4 mile stretch of road? That shit is just ludicrous today, especially with a crew of only 20-30 in total. Get two separate chain-gangs with picks, shovels, and sledge-hammers of say 200 each,,, working 12 hour shifts.... and the road will get built.
Anyone wants to think of "Custer" type uprisings will learn real fast that NOT being unchained from the dead body beside you, until the end of shift.... is NOT the armed guards problem.
I have NO compassion for most criminals, and definitely have no regards whatsoever for heinous criminals.... And we haven't even broached the topic of a perfectly viable organ donor group. And 1J can spread the word, that anyone who brings drugs into the prison (to keep the organs clean and viable) will instantly be a 'registered guest' of said facility. Do not pass GO, or any bullshit appeals. I'm sure he'd agree that any guard "aid'n an' abett'n" the sanctity of incarceration isn't worthy of consideration.
That's my piece, I've said my bit..... do with it what you will. I will help out to the best of my abilities, practically anybody who asks/needs assistance. The opposite is true for heinous abusers of civility.
No grey areas.
