I guess the whole thing its similar to the way folks enjoy eating a nice steak, but don't have any idea how the process works.
Not sure what the "steak" is in this analogy. But yes, people prefer to live in their own little bubbles, avoiding the less pleasant spectacles carried out in their name.
Perhaps we should institute mandatory witnesses? Say, 200 people over 18, drawn at random, will legally have to be present. No excuses. All expenses covered, transportation arranged, the works. See up close how things work.
If they had committed the crime against my family, sure.
Definitely! And, I would be glad to assist say if they would return to public hangings, I'd slap the horse on the butt to get things going.

Hillary. Treason against the United States. I propose firing squad. Send her out with a bang!

With Clinton more than just the useless wars and, we can't agree on life in prison either, firing squad!

Why shouldn't it be public? I think it would send a message. Hang them in the town square. "This is what happens. This is the reality."

It needs to be brutal to set an example of what happens, for all to see. You F*ck up, this is your future.
Really? Firing squad not that exciting? Are you sure? Hanging and beheading are my favorites, not into "buzz" as I plugged the tweezers into the electrical outlet when I was 5 years old and every since, I just cringe when there are electric sparks.

Cruel? Naw. It is what it is. Even drawn and quartered!
Unusual? Naw. execution in many many forms has been practiced for millenniums. It is not unusual to execute anyone.
This made me think of my most favorite, tied spread eagle in the desert with wet rawhide.

No, in Afghanistan they execute innocent people which is not the same. Learn more about Islam and sharia law before comparing it to executing those in our country sentenced to the death penalty.

I think that used to be effective. Now, 20 years later, a murderer sits in prison with friends, 3 meals a day, medical care, exercise yard and everyone forgets they ever did anything wrong.
Kind of like a way to discipline the mind to remember the actions/choices have consequences.

Let them die as the 80+ on the Clinton death list died or the Americans in Benghazi.

Beheading seems quick, not really that violent but messy for sure. It gets the job done.
Yes, I would go depending on what the person was being put to death for. Crimes against children? I would be glad to put someone like that down myself at no cost. Any of the terrorist? Yes, I want to see their face in the last minute of their life. "An eye for an eye."
The death penalty is proof that humans are still a very primitive, brutal, and barbaric animal.
