I think NOT!!
The Supreme Court agreed yesterday (Sep 25) to take a "hard look" at the method of lethal injection most states use to put inmates to death in a case that could further slow the pace of executions.
A couple of panty waists; inmates scheduled for execution, claim lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment.
This from a couple of losers that themselves have taken the life(s) of another.
Can anybody provide a link to this story for everone's viewing pleasure?
I'm a rookie and unsure how to do it.
I say so what if they feel pain. An eye for an eye. You think your victims felt no pain?
Tough it out, loser. You won't feel a thing soon...
Sheesh, now I've heard everything.

I might add that an anesthesiologist's group states that if it is done properly, in the right sequence, it is pain free.
Probably why we shouldn't have some one that is not part of the medical community performing this task.

The appeal was written by a couple of inmates. I laughed when he cited the reason for wanting the TDP removed was because it was cruel and unusual punishment. Where's the ROFL emote when you need it? I will contend that I have never been for or against. It's one of those BIG issues that 'I just don't know'. Some instances I'm all for it, others..I just am not too sure. However I have no sympathy for those who murder and commit the most heinous crimes who are on death row!

Cruel and unusual punishment is something they should have thought about before they did the crime. If they are found guilty, then to me, they asked for everything they got coming.

So be it, if they feel a little pain.

So far, we three are in agreement.
Good.

Lethal Injection "Cruel and unusual punishment"?

No... I think they are getting off easy!

I think they should be but to death the same way that their victims died....

cruel and unusual to the victims!

If it is for a murderer, 'Cruel and Unusual' punishment would be to make them suffer any more than their victim.

I.E. -

- for Timothy McVeigh, he should be blown up with a diesel and fertilizer explosive while he sits by the window on the 5th floor.

- for the BTK killer (stands for Bind/Torture/Kill), he should be bound up and tortured for as long as his most tortured victim and the torture should cause his demise.

- for someone who chokes someone, choke 'em.

Personally, I would like to return to the type of hangings that were down by Judge Isaac Parker in old Fort Smith, Arkansas when Oklahoma was still just a territory.

Whats next? NO dont give them life for premeditated murder thats "cruel and unusual" just give them probation.Pffffft

Cruel and unusual punishment is waiting the 15 -20 years for the deed to happen, thats not right, no sir.....I'm a compassionate type of person.


Hang them within 5 days of being found guilty in a public forum; except on Saturdays and Sundays. Oh, and none of this "put to sleep schit" -- Hang their azz!!

Crime rates would plummet if they knew its over within a couple days of being found guilty - this years and years of appeals is BS!! Time to make the "death penalty" a reality, not a farce.

But we all know that ain't gonna happen...

I guess murder "nice and normal" treatment?

If some of the courts get there way, it bet it will be.

I have a new slogan for the left. "kill babys not criminals" Hows that?

because no one's conviction is overturned on appeal

seems the victims are forgotten except by family and loved ones and the murder's on death row still scream about more rights, their civil liberties being violated and a death sentence that they feel is cruel and harsh.

Put old Sparky back into play, quite sure sitting in the hot seat they may have a fleeting second thought.

SEMPER FI

I would support the death penalty more if the court system that convicted and sentanced them wasn't so screwed up and potentially biased.

But ultimately it would be difficult to find a more humain way of killing someone then leathal injection. Unless of course not killing them is on the table. But that kinda defeats the point now doesn't it.

And your right. One might consider life in prison more cruel and in humain then death of any sort. I guess its all in the eye of the beholder.

Cruel and unusual punishment is life in prison not Lethal Injection.

The arguement is that the current set of drugs causes unnecessary pain and should be changed to use a more modern mix. The reasoning is that a death sentence is NOT revenge and society should NOT lower it's self to the level of those being executed.
Personally I think executions should be on primetime TV on ALL channels (psople should see what they allow to be done, want done) and in SOME cases I would be in favor of some long and uncomforatble (painful) method of execution such as death by exposure with no food (water available with painful effort).

This entire argument is idiotic.... we need to simply bring back the practice of hanging.

Done properly, there's no real suffering involved, a drop and a snap, done. It's also a very cost-effective method of execution, certainly far cheaper than this lethal injection bullchit.

This passage was taken from one news release:

"Abdur’Rahman, formerly known as James Lee Jones, was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death for the 1986 murder of Patrick Daniels. Abdur’Rahman and another man entered the home Mr. Daniels shared with Norma Norman, bound, blindfolded and stabbed them. Ms. Norman survived her wounds."

This is only the Tennessee decision, but the U.S. Supreme Court website is http://www.supremecourtus.gov/ I don't think the decision to hear the case is on this site, but other decisions can be read.

Now, in Baze, there is a story at http://www.kentucky.com/471/story/174565.html

Baze, 52, was condemned to death for the 1992 shooting of Powell County Sheriff Steve Bennett and Deputy Arthur Briscoe. He was scheduled to be executed Sept. 25.

Interesting that one of the guys saying "cruel and unusual punishment stabbed his victim to death while the other shot a cop. What is cruel about going to sleep and not waking up? That is what they will do when executed.

As my dear pappy used to say: When I go, I hope it is peacefully in my sleep like what happened to my dad, not screaming in agonizing fiery pain like the passengers in the car he was driving.

How 'bout goin' back to "Old Sparky" or maybe the "Rope Dance"?

Hanging's a better method than the chair; cheaper too.
