Death by firing squad.

[cuddly_tomato]

And yet you disregard the human life of the murderer simply because you don't want "financial burden". It seems to be a fairly obvious double standard.

Not morally righteousness, but simple common sense. If one is against murder, then they shouldn't really be sanctioning state sponsored murder of this kind for reasons of financial gain. If you are hateful and angry I can understand that. If you want people who have committed terrible crimes to go in the ground alive or be fed to sharks or something because you don't think they deserve to live - fair enough.

To attach money to this is pretty appauling.

So, wait, let me understand this. You are not arguing against the death penalty or retributive killing in general, but only against a specific motivation? You say I have the double standard? Nice.

No, I am against the death penality in any circumstance. However I can at least understand those who call for the death penality on retributive grounds. Those who want to impliment it for the sake of saving money are beyond the pale as far as I am concerned.

I'd like to be shot too. Its better than lying on a slab waiting for the poison to take effect. Way to go shot-down-guy.

 

[brodie21]

that is how i might choose to go out if the murders do start.


if i get cut off by one more person who talks on their phone while driving........

thats not a crime its a public service

*hands you machine gun

have fun

OT:This is how I would want to be executed

yaayy!! although i think an rpg would be more effective..

 

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

Here are a few of my ideas for revamping the death penalty:

1) Convicted murderer is taken out back, shot right after trial; one executioner, one bullet. I'd prefer using a 25mm weapon so that the murderer becomes a red mist.

2) Money that would've gone to his/her appeals and upkeep in prison, goes to police salaries so they'll do better jobs

EDIT: As for how I'd like to go, I'd just want a firing squad that fired on my command, like that one guy. I like being in control.

I think I firing squad is a bit much. But hey, at least it's faster then the chair. Assuming they don't shoot you slowly (eg: the feet, the hands, the stomach, etc etc)

What's so immoral about firing squad? It's an instant death with pretty much zero pain. I'd rather take that than lethal injection honestly.

Same here plus there seems to be a hint of more honor to die by execution. It seems more manly I guess.

So if the police were a bit broke they could simply arrest someone for murder, secure a conviction, then get that person shot in the head.

I think I can see a flaw in this plan.

Except for the fact that people who are paid on salary don't get more money for doing something special, they just get paid a certain amount every year. My idea is to just increase how much they make, not give them more for busting someone.

@ "Sinisterspade" (page two) - the death penalty actually costs more than life imprisonment. The process of conviction, then the appeals, so on and so forth, add up to more in lawyer's fees than the cost of keeping a man in prison for his life. If we're talking practicality, imprisonment is cheaper.

Of course, you have to factor in the cost of building new prisons all the time thanks to ever more ridiculous laws. Whether or not prisons eventually pay for themselves as opposed to the cost of executing (or more accurately, the cost of being allowed to execute) someone, is unknown to me.

This thread is quite interesting.

Hmmm...

I suppose I would prefer a firing squad (Like Marshall Ney) standing up, with a cigar ,in a suit and with the decision of when to fire and without a blindfold facing down my executioners. That would be the honorable way to die and the way for a gentleman to die. If that was unfeasible I would choose the guillotine, as it will be quick and likely painless, facing up at the blade as a gentleman would.

 

[Hashime]

I would totally go for it! Firing Squad would be faster, less painful, and best of all I would be remembered as that guy who chose the firing squad!
