Why not do the same to this piece o sh*t

I'd happily plunge the needle into his arm :agree:
Edited for LH
Because he can always be rehabilitated don't you know...
I watched Pierrepoint as recommended by Doddie and I must say that it didn't change my opinion on capital punishment.
We've been over the arguement a few times on here and the same points will be raised again but I think we should have it.
I also understand the arguements from the Pierrepoint story but I think that he found himself in a unique situation where he was propelled into being a mini celebrity. I understand their will be implications for the people who execute.
What's the deal with the American's who carry it out. Do those people often end up traumatised, turning to drink etc?
The sniper guy got what he deserved aswell. Must have been very, very weird attempting to walk around the street in those couple of weeks.
I read this yesterday and found it quite interesting on his wife's views.

There was a drama on the tellybox the other night about the execution of Gary Glitter - basically a reconstruction of the last decade or so of his life up until now, except that when he recently returned to this country he was tried, found guilty and sentenced to death. Didn't appear to be sensationalised in any way, and doesn't seem to have caused a media storm in the way that, for example, puerile phone calls from over-rated and over-paid presenters to retired Catalan waiters does.Quote:

They'd have to get out of the EU directive they signed before that happened. I'm not sure whether it's the case or not but wouldn't we have to leave the EU in doing so?Quote:

Frankly I am worried there are so many people around who would get their kicks out of killing another human. Maybe those advocating predictive psychology should trawl internet forums for case studies.
Does it have to be the balls, or is that just to give an added necro-sexual kick to proceedings?Quote:

Maybe reintroduce flogging first, as a taster.Quote:

I retract the statement about his baws if it upsets you and replace it with his arm :rolleyes:
That's why I said necro-sexual rather than necrophilic...Quote:

Fine if you're sure you've got the right guy. Indefensible if you execute an innocent man (or woman).
As Gandhi would say "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". :agree:
why would you bother having a last meal if you knew you were going to die a while after. Never understood that
Because it is the best thing on offer. Last round the world cruise is a bit less practical.Quote:

It's about, "Hey we're going to kill you, but there's nothing personal here. And to prove it, what would you like to eat and drink before we strap you on the gurney/into the chair/into the chamber/drop you through the floor with a rope round your neck/chop your head off?"
Sam Pepys had an original vew of execution:
"To my Lord's in the morning, where I met with Capt. Cuttance. But my Lord not being up, I went out to Charing Cross to see Maj.-Gen. Harrison hanged, drawn, and quartered; which was done there, he looking as cheerful as any man could in that condition. He was presently cut down and his head and his heart shown to the people, at which there were great shouts of joy.... Thus it was my chance to see the King beheaded at Whitehall and to see the first blood shed in revenge for the blood of the King at Charing Cross. From thence to my Lord's, and took Capt. Cuttance and Mr. Sheply to the Sun Tavern and did give them some oysters."
Nice to read that the sight of a man being disembowlled and beheaded didn't put him off his grub.
I like the "he looking as cheerful as any man could in that condition...." :devil:
Do you think you'd get away with saying you'd like a delivery from the chippy on the other side of the country?
Imagine how pissed off you would be if your last meal arrived burnt. :faf:

If we held them as half-time entertainment in football stadiums, the SPL would have no financial worries whatsoever.Quote:

And the fast-food boys did a roaring trade round the gallows. "Sausages, get your lovely sausages! Tripe'n onions, lovely fresh tripe'n onions! Spare ribs...)
Because they didn't use a drop (like the Pierrepoints did) but strung them up, it could take up to an hour for the executee to die.
You could run a sort of 'Banzai' betting game on how long it would take (a bit like Mr Shake hands Man - 20 minutes, half an hour, three quarters of an hour, more than an hour - betting ends now, BANZAI!!!!!!!!!!!!)
That, and selling tickets to the stadium, with all the merchandising - DVDs, T-shirts, soft toys, back-packs etc, all with appropriate logos - I'm surprised Gordo and Darling haven't set it up already.
I trust no one's offended by my modest proposal. :wink:
