Utah to execute two men by firing squad

[Guest The Czech Republic]

This talk of botched executions reminds of the the SNL skit Death Row Bloppers.

"...okay. He's dead."

 

"(sigh) Ha! I really had you going there!

 

"Oh boy, you sure did! We thought we got you there!"

 

"Yeah, that was pretty cl---"

 

(flips switch)

Please, they're getting off easy. Its a quick death. The only thing "cruel and unusual" was the way these men killed their victims.

For some reason the phrase "Someone all of a sudden is walking around on fire" made me laugh out loud whereas 99% of the jokes made by board users do not.

Don't forgetgood old Boiling people in Oil!

 

I got a good one. I like to call it the Hot Lead Enema. You stick a funnel up the dude's ass and pour hot molten lead in there, IF he survives that somehow then the lead will harden inside him, which surely couldnt be a good thing

 

Or like God (aka George Carlin) says, he would like to see some of those useless states like Wyoming used as a place to put all the Murderers, rapists, criminally insane, blah blah blah, where they could do whatever they want to each other...and put it all on PPV! Use the revenue, cause there would be LOTS, to pay the fucking National Debt among other money issues in this country

How are lethal injections inhumane, but hangings are humane...

Lethal injections can go wrong much more easily, as can electrocution. Hanging someone is pretty much an exact science.

actually, it's not.

At Nuremburg, when they hanged teh Nazi's, a lot of them took upwards of 5-10 minutes to die by strangulation. It doesn't always break your neck.

 

And if they ever put me to death, I want tobe blown up. Let the conservatives debate THAT for years.

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

I seem to recall reading that hanging is a pretty accurate science these days. Sure, nothing's perfect, but it is known that the knot's gotta be behind your left ear, they have specific drops to use for people of varying weights, etc.

 

It's not perfect, but it's been well-improved over the years, so it's damned good.

Were I on death row, I think I'd like to go out in a blaze of glory on television in some kind of modernized gladitorial combat, where all the gladiators have cool names like Sub Zero, Fireball, and Dynamo.

Fuck those also-rans, they'd need to bust out Captain Freedom for me.

 

 

But would it be the same without Richard Dawson?

 

 

OT: I'm really sad my The Good The Bad and The Ugly reference was no-sold.
