There's gotta be some ancient Babylonian precedent to allow Judges to be _____ by their _____ until ____ oozes from their ______ and then their spouses have to ________ the _______ until they also ________ into a Starbucks cup and ________ with it.
That fucking dumb. It's not humane in the slightest.
Why not have a backup method, like the spike that shoots into the skull and injects high pressure air to scramble the brain? Could be done in a millisecond, death would occur before the brain had any time to register pain.
Or let them live another day and then randomly fill their room with nitrogen while they sleep.
Or better yet, just let them die of old age. It costs less than putting them to death anyway.
They probably aren't, at least not really. They certainly aren't doctors, as it is a clear violation of the Hippocratic Oath. The whole process of lethal injection is cosplaying as medicine.
My opinion regarding the death penalty is that if it needs it exist, then the guillotine is probably the best way to carry it out. It's 100% effective, requires little skill on the executioner's part to use, and causes death extremely quickly with minimal suffering.
Taking someone's life is inherently violent, and it is cowardice to try to hide that fact. People claim that capital punishment exists to scare people into following the law. Well, what's more terrifying than a guillotine?
@NateNate60 I'd rather the few countries that still have it abolished it, but I agree that if they're going to have it, it should be more humane than this.
From the article:
The procedure involves an incision that could be several inches wide and several inches deep. Forceps are used to tear tissue away from a vein that becomes the injection point. “It’s surgery,” said Arin Brenner, a federal public defender and one of the attorneys representing Dorsey. “It would be surgery without anaesthesia.”
The primary argument for why capital punishment is kept around in the US is to terrify people into not committing crimes.
The guillotine is a classic terrifying death machine while still being more humane than other, more modern techniques. It's also difficult to fuck up and cheap to administer.
Since then, WCK has organized food relief operations in the wake of disasters — both human-made and natural — in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Zambia, Peru, Cuba, Uganda, the Bahamas, Cambodia as well as Ukraine.
WCK made its U.S. debut in August 2017 by working with the American Red Cross to provide thousands of meals to survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.
I mean, at this point haven’t enough innocent people died to satiate Israel’s thirst for blood? 1200 Israelis died. 30,000 innocents and now relief workers. Israel is even killing hostages themselves. It’s all so damn senseless. What the hell are they trying to achieve? What ever it is, it isn’t justified.
I mean there’s a lot of reasons why it could’ve been an accident. Most likely a breakdown in communication channels that mark the target as off-limits. Could also be intentional, of course.
But even IF it was an accident, it shows that Israel is not responsible enough to have these weapons, and the US should immediately stop sending more.
In 1980, when a ship collided with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida, killing thirty-five people, a top state engineer said the Key Bridge could not withstand a similar crash. “I’m talking about the main supports, a direct hit — it would knock it down,” the official reportedly told the Baltimore Sun.
Seems ignoring the warning signs for the bridge is a long standing tradition amongst Maryland politicians.
