Would you mind pointing me to the legislation or law that says that we can't or aren't "supposed to" kill prisoners of the state quickly and humanely....
I was unaware that we'd decided as a society to practice torture and protracted executions...as means of stressing the issue that Joe Criminal deserves to die a long and painful death...
I was under the impression that if we could put a person to death quietly and quickly that that would be the prefferred model.
If we're actually saying that a hanging that doesn't kill someone right away...when it takes hours to choke to death...is the preferred model because it really drives the decision to take a life for a life...into the mind of the person we're killing...and of course the audience chanting its approval...
Wouldn't make good TV or movies I guess if we just killed em quick....
