How about the woodchipper instead?

What kills me(no pun intended) is what about this girl,pregnant, just married and what about the way she went, it doesn't sound like a walk in the park way either.This article doesn't say so, but he also sodomized her. It gets worse, now the guys family is suing for torture!!?? SHEESH!

Of course I'm being facetious about the woodchipper, but I guess a firing squad should do the trick.

By M. Alex Johnson, Staff Writer, NBC News

A shortage of a drug commonly used in executions has prompted lawmakers in at least two states to call for the return of firing squads.

Missouri state Rep. Rick Brattin, a Republican representing Harrisonville, introduced legislation Friday (.pdf) that would add five-person firing squads as an alternative to the state's current method of capital punishment, lethal injection.

Brattin cited the prolonged death Thursday of Dennis McGuire in Ohio as evidence that alternative methods were needed after manufacturers of pentobarbitol, the drug most commonly used in lethal injections, began withdrawing it from use in executions on ethical grounds.."

He got what he deserved. Lets just move on to the next one please. Nothing cruel or unusual about putting down a mad dog like him whatever the method. If his folks don't like it they should have stayed home.

How hard can it be to kill someone painlessly? Shoot him in the head with a high caliber bullet. Can't cost more than $5 for a .50 BMG. Won't be any gasping after that. The downside is the clean up. It will make a mess. But less of a mess than the woodchipper.

Looks like his family has no shame. Just go quietly into the night.

The woodchipper is a viable option.- I would gladly throw the switch and rid the world of this animal.

The method of execution in the good old USA varies by legal jurisdiction. One is always free to contact one's governmental representatives if one would like the appropriate legislature to reconsider their current choices.

NOTE: As of March 1, 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution bars capital punishment for crimes committed before the age of 18.
1. For those sentenced after 11/15/92, only lethal injection is authorized.
2. For those whose capital offense occurred on or after 7/4/83, only lethal injection is authorized.
3. For those sentenced on or after 3/31/98, only lethal injection is authorized.
4. For those sentenced on or after 3/25/94, only lethal injection is authorized.
5. Hanging is authorized only if lethal injection cannot be given.
6. Electrocution is authorized if lethal injection is ever held to be unconstitutional, and firing squad if both lethal injection and electrocution are held unconstitutional.
7. For those whose capital offense occurred after 12/31/98, only lethal injection is authorized.
8. Lethal gas is authorized if lethal injection is ever held to be unconstitutional.
9. For offenses under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, the method is that of the state in which the conviction took place.
* Executions in these states are on hold as lethal injection as the method of execution is being challenged in courts.

DonDiego recalls when the State of Utah offered the condemned man his choice of firing squad or hanging. Ahh, . . . the good old days.

In any case DonDiego recommends the readers contemplating a capital crime, if any, consider the State in which the crime is likely to be committed, . . . if the method of execution is of any concern.

Oh, a further note.
The Bad News: If one is contemplating capital crime elsewhere than the USA one should also be aware that boiling, decapitation, electrocution, firing squad, gas chamber, hanging, lethal injection, and stoning may still be encountered, in alphabetical order.

The Good News: Blowing from a Gun [i.e. being lashed to the mouth of a cannon subsequently fired], the Breaking Wheel, Burning, Crucifixion, Crushing, Disembowelment, Dismemberment, Death by Elephant, Drawing and Quartering, Flaying, Garrote, Immurement, Impalement, Mazzatello, Poena cullei, Premature Burial, Sawing, Scaphism, Slow slicing, and Suffocation in Ash are no longer practiced anywhere, . . . at least officially.
Apparently wood chipper has never been an approved method of execution.

I don't know enough to say that whether this was actually torture or not, but IF you want to torture folks, you're going to need to amend the Constitution.

I know this comes as news to those who think that the Bill of Rights ends at number two.

Torture? Really Forkie?

"You have your choice guillotine or burn at the stake". Curly:I'll take burn at the stake" Moe: "Why burn at the stake?" Curly "A hot stake is better than a cold chop." nyukk nyukk nyukk

Indeed.

*Amendment 8 to the United States Constitution*
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

As the entire purpose of the Bill of Rights - the first ten amendments - was to guarantee a number of personal freedoms and limit the Government's power in certain proceedings, the Eighth Amendment is undoubtedly intended to proscribe certain punishments administered by the Government.

The original Congressional debate on this amendment raised some concerns over precisely what the terms "cruel and unusual" meant:
"During congressional consideration of this provision one member objected to 'the import of [the words] being too indefinite’ and another Member said: 'No cruel and unusual punishment is to be inflicted; it is sometimes necessary to hang a man, villains often deserve whipping, and perhaps having their ears cut off; but are we in the future to be prevented from inflicting these punishments because they are cruel? If a more lenient mode of correcting vice and deterring others from the commission of it would be invented, it would be very prudent in the Legislature to adopt it; but until we have some security that this will be done, we ought not to be restrained from making necessary laws by any declaration of this kind"
Ref: EIGHTH AMENDMENT, Government Printing Office

Fortunately, . . . or unfortunately depending upon one's natural leanings on such matters, . . . this gentleman's objections were overruled and the Eighth Amendment passed.
Subsequent challenges and Court decisions have pretty well solidified the extent of what punishments are permissible.

Even today The States now recognize that things change; over time what has been acceptable may later be ruled unacceptable/unconstitutional. So, for example, as DonDiego posted earlier, the State of Utah specifies as the method of execution lethal injection, . . . and, if lethal injection is ever determined to be unconstitutional then electrocution, . . . and, if electrocution is ever determined to be unconstitutional then firing squad.

DonDiego is hardly a legal scholar, but he supposes Execution by Wood Chipper falls into the cruel and unusual category.

Firing Squads? Dont show this article to Wayne Lapiere. He'll pop a tent in his pants
