No, they use lethal injection. I think the last time they put someone to death was in the 60's.
Every execution in the USA since 2004 has been by lethal injection, which was first used in Texas in 1982. Lethal injection is also the only form of execution used now in China.
If Hasan had escaped to Canada (or almost any other country), he would not be extradited to the USA for trial unless the Americans guaranteed that he would not be executed. The Amreicans would then be forced to invade Canada and inflict shock and awe on the scoundrels, in order to get Hasan back so we could execute him. Like we did to Panama. Our highest national priority. We will stop at nothing, to kill an evildoer.
The way the media convicts someone before their day in court today makes me sick.
Yea right in the middle of a shootout and called a suspect. That to me is an infringement on even an insane persons intelligence .Some cases it may be harder to know who is shooting at who but this case bladder dash

OK, let's make you king for a day. How do you write the law that determines who gets a fair trial and who doesn't?
And why is he considered a "suspect". He did it...
That's a legal issue, since American law says that you're innocent until proven guilty. Hopefully, there won't be any technicalities to get him off the hook.
being paralyzed from the waist down isn't going to be very good for him when he gets his 72 virgins....
i think the families of all the people he murdered should get to vote on what happens to him and majority rules. they can be the voices for the murdered, since they no longer have a voice.
While a nice sentiment, Lady Justice, if you recall, is blindfolded.
When one bases what should be an honest, dry, emotionalless decision on pure highly charged emotions, then Lady Justice bcomes a vigilanty.
I can certainly understand the emotions involved. If it was my son killed I would want blood too. This is why an impartial judge resides over criminal cases, and jury selection, if it occurs, can be a lengthy process looking for people NOT out for blood.
If you recall, a judge who has a vested interest in a case may excuse himself in favor of another judge taking his place, with no penalty to the State or a misstrial occuring.

I know the guy is guilty, and the only thing the prosecution is going to have to prove is that he was sane at the time of the shootings in this case.
However, in our country, you are innocent until proven guilty. That goes for this crazy guy, and for everyone else.
The good of this rule of law far outweighs the bad with it.
It WAS their decision. We do not have a corrupt government. The majority of Americans, by their collective will, expressed in free elections, sent our troops to Iraq under the express order to "shock and awe". In public opinion polls, more than 90% expressed approval. You cannot blame this on an autocratic dictator. You and the rest of the voters then even re-elected the man who sent us there. Our government did exactly what the people told it to do. Kill.
The "brave people in the military" are the ones who refused to serve, who stood up and risked the consequences for refusing to kill human beings merely because they were told to do so. That, my friend, is an act that takes courage. It is not bravery to murder innocent defenseless unarmed people with state of the art weaponry while standing behind an impenetrable shield of protection.
The brave hero in the lynch mob is the one who says "No".
We do have a corrupt government and I did not want a war and I have never voted for anyone who has sent soldiers over there to fight. Soldiers take an oath and I don't think it is honorable to break that oath any more than it is honorable for our congress to fail in their duty to uphold the constitution. Most of congress is failing us miserably.
You spoke of a double standard. How about a person who does nothing to defend our country bad mouthing those honorable soldiers who fight so one can have the freedom to do so. They don't just do it for honorable people, they do it for dirt bags too. That is because they care about their country. Wish our president and congress did too.
Feed him lots of ham maybe that will help .Does this mean they going to have to prop him up for the firing squad ???
Actually, it should make it easy just to hook a positive and a negative to the wheel chair.
