Bro just shoot him if you already do such idiotic things as executions.
Faster, more Reliable, less suffering, Cheap.

That seems like a good idea. If they really want to execute someone, make the official of the state shoot them on video. I’m guessing capital punishment would be almost zero within 10 years, because nobody wants to be seen as a cold-blooded killer, especially when they know that people could review the video.

Nah instead two elections cycles later a candidate will be elected, who will be running ad breaks and monetizing execution videos, all while parading patriotic bullshit.

Yep. Have the governor of the state be the one who has to pull the trigger, since they’re the ones who can stop it.

This would backfire as you’d see people voting for right wingers more because it’s “Cool and manly to kill people”, you’d also get the foot in the door for legalized bloodsports.

Unfortunately, you’re probably correct, especially humanity’s history of violence.

Is that a GoT reference?
- 1024_Kibibytes ( @1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee ) 1•8 months ago
No. I didn’t watch the show much. I’m unaware of any possible references.
- rottingleaf ( @rottingleaf@lemmy.zip ) 3•8 months ago
Yes, there was a moment in very beginning about the duke carrying out executions personally and making his sons watch, because that’s his responsibility.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!

I agree. I’m against the death penalty but find it odd people expect it to be “painless” and beautiful.
You’re killing someone. It sucks. Stop trying to pretend it’s not a brutal senseless act.
- Queen HawlSera ( @HawlSera@lemm.ee ) English18•8 months ago
Bro at this point, just fucking shoot them…
Or better yet, how about we don’t kill people as a form of legal punishment in any decade officially taking place after the middle ages?

Just going to, uh, leave this here…
Jacob Geller - The False Evolution of Execution Methods (YouTube)
A little documentary on how execution methods have changed over time and how they haven’t necessarily gotten more humane like we’d assume they would.
Nitrogen hypoxia is humane for the person dying (if done right), just maybe not for the spectators. You just lose consciousness and never wake up.
They fucked up by using a mask instead of a chamber.
- shiveyarbles ( @shiveyarbles@beehaw.org ) 2•8 months ago
The whole idea of it, and the process, and the people who scheme to support it… is absolutely ghoulish.
The death penalty, or using nitrogen to do it?
