I certainly don't mind "botched" executions.....they deserve to suffer fortheircrimes. I think it's fucking rediculous how much time energy and money is spent trying to find the most humane/quickest/easiest way to execute people. Heres a thought....take all the confiscated heroin cops bring in, test it(which is apparently already done routinely now with the deadly batches laced with fentanyl), and use the stuff thats laced for executions! People are dying before they even get the chance to take the needle out of their arm.....painless, efficient, extremely fast, cheap as hell and a neverending supply. Problem solved for all the whiners that claim current execution methods are inhumane and painful. Personally........let em suffer.....their victims did.

If they truely deserve it, then so be it.

I see nothing wrong with the humble guillotine. Sedate, lay them out, chop, done.

The reason half of these lethal injections are "botched" are because of some people's natural reactivity to the medications used. Everyone is different, everyone responds differently. I see the same variability in dogs and cats, and I've done so many I *can't* miss the veins now.

I don't call these botched executions, these are successes!

31. Allen Lee Davis (July 20, 1944 – July 8, 1999) was a prisoner executed for the May 11, 1982 Jacksonville, Florida murder of Nancy Weiler, who was three months pregnant at the time. According to reports, Nancy Weiler was "beaten almost beyond recognition" by Davis with a .357 Magnum, and hit over 25 times in the face and head.

He was also convicted of killing Nancy Weiler's two daughters, Kristina (9, shot twice in the face) and Katherine (5, shot as she was trying to run away and then skull beaten in with the gun). Davis was on parole for armed robbery at the time of the murders. He was executed on July 8, 1999. His last meal consisted of: One lobster tail, fried potatoes, a half pound of fried shrimp, six ounces of fried clams, half a loaf of garlic bread, and 32 ounces of A&W Root Beer.[1]

He bludgeoned a pregnant woman to death and shot her two children, one in the face. I'm pretty sure a little discomfort was called for. Fuck that dude.

I googled a shit ton of the above named fucks and they got exactly what they deserved IMHO. Murderous thugs... Didn't check all of them though but sense a trend.
Many of the dyed in the wool guilty claimed innocence to the end. That doesn't mean shit to me though I'm talking bloody knife in hand guilty fuck um.
On the other hand the innocent ,if there be any, are unbeknownst to me:(

Each and every victim was wondering when the pain that they endured would start to happen to their murderers.

[Hotsauce]

Even though most committed awful crimes and out of all the terrible shit I've seen on this site, this one made me the most squeamish. Cheers

Just a thought...like everyone said 'cant do the time, dont do the crime and all that'

In the span of a year, the cost for the state of Virginia to obtain lethal injection drugs has leapt from about $525 per execution to $16,500...
Examples From Studies. Cases without the death penalty cost $740,000, while cases where the death penalty is sought cost $1.26 million. Maintaining each death row prisoner costs taxpayers $90,000 more per year than a prisoner in general population. There are 714 inmates on California's death row.....

personally, the deal breaker on the death penalty was sample,.. learning of what the work has done from the innocence project. having delt with the law in a few ways, having a father work for the prison.. an uncle as a cop.... a "family member" shot 10 times over $60 buck's of weed......

i would rather see a thousand guilty fuckers walk.. than a innocent person suffer...

Exactly, did the victims get any mercy? No!
