Comment Bring back firing squads, hangings and guillotine (Score 0) 1081
Ways to kill people.
firing squads
hangings
beheading
water boarding (except this time drown them)
poison that leads to agonizing slow death
crucifixions
stakes through the anus
removal of entrails with a chainsaw.
etc..
The more gruesome the execution, the better. The problem with "clean" executions is that it makes those that self-righteously advocate execution as a form of punishment feel "civilized". There is nothing civilized about executions. its just another form of barbarism, murder and sadism but one simply sanctioned by the state. Lets stop pretending to be civilized and show ourselves as brutes that we are by making executions a bloodfest. Put on TV on Saturday morning for kids to watch. Their parents shouldn't mind. Many of them still claim it as 'justice" after all.
If humanity manages to survive our technology, there is little doubt future generations will see our generation as still with one foot in the door of savagery for having allowing capital punishment
