Since our drug companies are incapable of compounding lethal injection drugs, what's your pleasure?

None. I'd like us to follow the rest of the first world in eliminating the death penalty.

Advocating for things only used in third world countries is not just backwards, but embarrassing.

Gas chamber sounds good. They just drift off to sleep and never wake up.

Maybe we can just lock them in a car in the dead of summer until they die!

LOL, I just couldn't help myself.

Alaska does not have a death penalty. Too bad the same cannot be said for the rest of the nation.

None. Abolish the death penalty like the rest of the civilized world.

It's funny, I tend to notice that a lot of the people who are strongly for the death penalty also claim to be extremely 'Christian' and 'moral'. Funnier yet, most of them are too "intellectually challenged" to understand the irony...

I heartly think we should go back to the way my English ancestors like Longshanks (Edward the First) did it. Trial by high ordeal, you draw and quarter the victim, in special cases do disembowelment. It should be televised --- reality TV at its very best!!!

This. Capital punishment is a waste of taxpayer money. It's cheaper to incarcerate them for the average lifetime of a maximum-security inmate when you consider the cost of prosecuting (and defending) a capital case and the mandatory appeals process. Plus, our system is too vulnerable to human error and you can't bring a dead person back to life.

No they are not incapable of making safe, merciful and effective drugs for murdering people. They just have a problem with being in the same position as the makers of Zyklon B which wasn't really designed to be more than a fumigent for the elimination of pest.
