Just The News:
The Justice Department is changing its execution protocols, so that federal executions are no longer required to be done by lethal injection only.
The amended rule, as reported by the AP, allows the government to use lethal injection or “any other manner prescribed by the law of the state in which the sentence was imposed.” The rule was published in the Federal Register on Friday.
Those other manners include “electrocution, inhaling nitrogen gas or death by firing squad.” The amended rule goes into effect on Dec. 24 and comes as the DOJ has scheduled five executions during this lame-duck period.
The reason for the change, according to a Justice Department official, is “the Federal Death Penalty Act requires sentences be carried out in the ‘in the manner prescribed by the law of the state in which the sentence is imposed,’ and some of those states use methods other than lethal injection.” more
Firing squads could be pretty damned handy around February.
I think just last year, one state’s convict actually asked for a firing squad.
Usually they just die of old age.
Please pardon my uncivil imagination but has no State ordained death by hungry feral hogs yet? Seems appropriate for those disposed to kill/rape/torture everyone they can and burn cities to the ground.
Catapult through an abandoned wind farm with Pay Per View!
Or just plain Pay Per View with 50% going to victim’s families.
Merry Christmas!
I have 3 criteria for execution methods; humane, effective, inexpensive. Pity there is a moral stigma attached but for my money you can’t beat the Guillotine.
Waste not want not…Ropes are reusable.
Just sayin’.
I’m actually a little disappointed – I was so looking forward to some hangings…
Three guys are captured by a tribe of natives in a far off land. They are brought before the tribal leader who gives them a choice. He says, “what will you have, death or bufu?”.
The first guys thinks, hmmm wonder what bufu is. “I’ll take the bufu”. The tribal leader says, “good, him close bufu.” Then a dozen tribal members line up and give it to him in the ass.
The tribal leader turns to the second guy and gives him the choice, death, or bufu. The second guy thinks, hmm, that bufu thing is pretty nasty. But death is permanent, “I’ll take the bufu”. Tribal leader says, “good, him choose bufu, and a hundred tribesmen line up and give him the bufu .
The tribal leader gives the choice to the third captive. He thinks a while, hmm, first it was a dozen, then it was a hundred, I don’t know man. Heck with it, “I’ll take death”. The tribal leader says, “good, him choose death, by bufu!”
How about death at the hands
of the families whose loved ones
were taken from them
Hanged, drawn and quartered.
Nitrogen suffocation. Just use a gas chamber and pump in pure nitrogen gas. The condemned will simply die without even knowing it and there’s no dangerous gas to worry about.
Raffle off firing squad positions and it’ll also pay for the incarceration period. Win-win.
In the case of Hillary Clinton, death by 1000 paper cuts.
Just withhold food and water until desired results are attained.
Livestock slaughter houses have already got this perfected. Captive bolt stunner to the forehead, then bleed ’em out while unconscious. Fast, humane, and very, very cheap.
It isn’t really necessary, but turning the convict into a steer first would be satisfying.
Just remember kiddies…the batshit crazies might be in charge soon and where do you think there gonna test all this?
Just put that fentanyl stuff in their lunch. Never knew what hit ’em.
Death by Hillary or Pelosi.
Bullet thru jail door port. Family gets bullet bill from Russia
Just hang the scumbags. It’s worked great for thousands of years.
Use AG Barr to test the first gallows.
