Firing squads called for by US politicians

Old fashioned hanging works much better and doesn't violate anti-gunner sensibilities...

Lol

But then, if your glorious nation would just stop bullying those muslims, they would probably just ignore you

Not to derail but as long as Israel exists, and my "glorious nation" supports them (arms them, trains them, gives freebies like no other), they will hate us no matter what.

Lets not delude ourselves.

Colorado and Washington State are way ahead of you.

Oh, you should see what the Muslims here do. After some Muslims took part in protests, other Muslims helped with the reconstruction. Absolutely disgusting

It's worth to note that the 8th Amendment and several rulings made by the Supreme Court say that no punishment shall be "unusual", "excessive" or explicitly "cruel".

No matter how you stand regarding death "penalty", to execute somebody by implementing a lasting agony, is not only barbaric and unacceptable, but unneeded as well. That rules out methods like the 10 minutes long poisoning of the subject lately, or hanging by pulling the body up with the rope and effectively strangling the subject, instead of having it falling down a pit and braking the neck, or electric chairs which have the subject sometimes surviving for minutes in pain and consciousness. The straightest solution to get rid of somebody (that is what death "penalty" really is about, because it is no penalty - for a penalty the subject must live to endure it) is a shot to the neck. Short and painless, survival rate almost nill. Shots to the head occasionally get survived, though not in a state of consciousness.

I never understood the show and theatre they make of executions. Years of waiting on the death list. Big showroom event. Ritual procedures, magical machineries (injection machines) and all that. Bollocks. If you want to see somebody suffering, rent a splatter video, or whip your poor dog. There is the court verdict, there is an appeal court, the last appeal is rejected - no reason to still wait for years. Execute the subject on the same day the last juristic step was rejected - and I do not mean the governor denying the last minute pardon (which is something that should be abandoned - a governor should not have the right to bypass the law on behalf of a sentenced subject - what the heck does he think he is?).

By my logic, I would shoot the subject when it sleeps unsuspecting. Again: no need to implement unneeded suffering, pain or fear - execution is no penalty in the meaning of "penalty" anyway. It's a disposal.

He say's that like it's a bad thing!

Seriously though, when fighting monsters you must gaze at least long enough to learn how to defeat them or they will destroy what you are fighting to defend. Nietzsche doesn't really address that little detail.

There's another quote I've always liked that's far less negative and far more productive:

"Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I shall fear no evil.
For I am the meanest, toughest son of a bitch in the valley."

and of course Patton said:

"I want you to stop thinking about what he's gonna do to you and start thinking about what you're gonna do to him."

You just can't go into a fight thinking you're gonna loose or you will loose. Self doubt is a cancer that eats away at the will. It's contagious too. That's the real abyss to worry about imo.

Considering the inhumane acts these animals have committed, do they really deserve a humane end to their miserable lives?
Firing squad would be too easy an out imho.

A properly done drop hanging is probably one of the more humane and inexpensive methods of executions.

Besides, ammo's getting expensive.

I would be in favor of one option in regards to capital punishment. A revolver and one bullet. One chance only to do it yourself. Take it or leave it.

I agree.
There should also be 10 rattan cane strokes for writing such BS.

So why are the people carrying out the inhumane punishment that you propose then better than the criminal? To lower yourself to their level is plain wrong, sometimes tempting but wrong!

No matter how it's viewed, it's still murder when a death sentence is levied. The states that practice the punishment are no better than those being punished. Putting them down like a rabid dog should be sufficient and cause no shortage in the supplies of killing cocktails. Plenty made for the vets to snuff our aged pets. Use the same thing on the condemned as well.
If money is the object, a rope is cheap, reusable and oh so effective.
