I have to agree with both of you.....though more with Mack cause I like both men and women......Long as I get to control my fate I'm happy.....
Lethal Injection is painless as well.....Its why California is so fond of it.....Vicarious Reality said:
I would want to die stepping on a mine, in a minefield (if a I take my foot off it explodes), with a ferocious tiger about to attack me, a coliseum, with Jean Claude Vandame, Dennis Rodman and a baby in a basket. That or death by being shot by a death star head on. That would be freaking Epic.
Cookie and cake for those who know which movie I'm talking about for the 1st way.

My ways to die would have to be:
1. Firing Squad
2. OD on something and donate my organs.
3. Testout medical treatments.
4. Suicide mission to take out either drug cartels or dictators. I'd have a bomb implanted in me so I couldn't be captured ( plus I'd take the bastards out with me ) .
Wow, I never liked the idea of lethal injection because I thought the actual executor would be too incompetent, but the idea that the very PROCEDURE is flawed turns me right against it.Father Time said:
I'm amazed it could have such an oversight of the combination of tranquilliser then paralysing agent, how the tranquilliser can wear off with the paralysing agent in effect, you'd be strapped down suffocating unable to breath, unable to move, unable to scream out then you have a heart attack induced. And the idea that everyone is watching thinking that you are just fine.
I appreciate that a punishment is supposed to be painful, that is the etymology of the verb "to punish", but suffocating to death in silent paralysis is too cruel. Capital punishment should be a reliably a short and quick pain.
That's why I think firing squad is the best option, 6 rifle bullets to the chest hitting simultaneously is very deadly instantly.
Well don't be too disparaging of your serving men in uniform, if they are told to aim for the chest and fire, while their commanding officer is glaring at them... THEY DO IT! Firing squads are usually done with several soldiers for more than killing with certainty, it's because it's easier to order a group to do an unpleasant task than an individual. Soldiers have that "espirit de corps", they are as close as brothers, they acts as one guided by orders. An individual can bend or break orders, but a group of 8 would have to simultaneously rebel precisely in time without discussion to sabotage a firing squad.Niflhel said:
Either all aim on target or none do (mutiny). In the Army, rebels get weeded out.
And there are many ways to be doubly sure, for example having a frangible backdrop behind the firing squad so if anyone aims off centre the officer will see the bullet impact wide of the mark. Officers deal with guilt by loading the rifles for the soldiers every 4th soldier at random gets a blank rather than a live round... so each soldier can consider the chance that they will/did not directly kill a man.
But that is how soldiers would do it. Civilian criminals would likely be executed by police officers or jail wardens, who won't have the same command structure to ensure a reliable execution.
Anyway, I think Capital Punishment - literally the highest punishment - should be both decided by the highest authority and executed by the highest authority. Have the Governor use the National Guard to execute their worst offenders, don't leave it down to the police.
Because I think there should be a fundamental dichotomy of powers: the job of the police is to protect, the job of the military is to kill. Police have guns to defend themselves and directly prevent harm. The Army have guns to kill, that is their default, accepting surrender is something the enemy must prove they should be granted.
Something has just occurred to me: organ Donation
It's something really valuable and if you are definitely going to die might as well have something positive from it, but if either poisoned by lethal injection or shot multiple times in the chest you can't donate organs.
Aim for the head? I don't know, it seem dignified getting shot in the chest but head getting mutilated is, I don't know it doesn't seem right even for those who deserve to die for their crimes.
I hate this subject... there doesn't seem to be any right way to kill someone. Only the least bad options.
I can see why Obama gave the orders to not try to take Bin Laden alive, for more than fear of him armed with a suicide bomb it was probably what would they do with him once captured alive?
Firing squad.
Maybe it's the fact that i play a lot of shooters, the fact that people get shot in cities around england every day, or the fact that i used to be in the army cadets and have fired a rifle, but i've always wondered what getting shot actually feels like.
I guess if i've been sentenced to death, i might as well find out...
