Poll: McViegh's execution..how do you feel
- Thread starter AdamDuritz99
- Start date
they should put him in the chair at with a small amount of electrocution and let him suffer for 5-6 hours, then bump it up and kill him, that's not "cruel and unusual" punishment for what he did, that's getting off easy
Does anybody know, is lethal injection painful?

On a side note, McViegh will be the first person ever to be executed by lethal injection.

I agree, he IS getting off easy.
slow, slow and painful torture is acceptable. There is no excuse for what he did.

um, not hardly
lethal injection has been the choice of many states for a few years now
regardless.. i dont think anybody has the right to ever decide the fate of somebody else's life.. especially deciding to have somebody killed... i know.. i know.. "timothy mcveigh decided to end the live's of all of those people".. yes its true.. he did a horrible thing and should be punished accordingly.. however i do not feel that death is the appropriate measure for anybody....
also, if i felt that death was a punishment fit for any situation.. this would definitely be it...im just against the thought of allowing other humans deciding to end anybody's life...

Um. Yes hardly. Did you read my post? Lethal injection may be the choice of many states, but it has never been used before.
Taken from cnn.com
McVeigh, 33, is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 7 a.m. (8 a.m. ET) Monday at the Federal Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, for the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that killed 168 people. McVeigh would be the first federal prisoner executed since 1963 and the first ever to be killed by lethal injection. [/n]

His execution is a pretty interesting test -- often times people will speak out against execution by pointing out the chance that we'll accidently execute innocent people. But McVeigh is obviously guilty (the guy even wrote a book about it all), so that arguement doesn't work. So it all boils down to whether you think execution is ever the right course of action.
Execution is a pretty vengeful act. I don't think that it's intended to punish the criminal so much as it is designed to make the families of the victims feel better. That doesn't sound rational to me.
I'd prefer to see criminals imprisoned for life, rather than executed. I don't think that there's ever an appropriate time to kill someone. There's definitely a more primal part of me that would like to have McVeigh obliterated, though.

McViegh's execution is morally just. Indeed, in my opinion we would be immoral to allow McViegh to live, under any conditions.
Lethal injection is not new, actually
[edit] I think your link read that he'll be the first federal prisoner to die by lethal injection.

Interesting, I read it off of this.

I still say the method of execution is TOO humane. Find a building set for demolition, buy a Ryder truck, place a bomb in the truck, drive the truck into the building and shackle McVeigh to a pillar smack dab in the middle of the building's 13th floor. Ignite bomb, watch building crumble, walk away and return 4 days later to retrieve his body from the rubble.
He's the first FEREDERAL prisoner to be executed by lethal injection. The state of California as done at least a few lethal injections.
It looks like some people here are just as bad as Mcveigh.
You are an ass. Pure and simple. So I made one mistake. Big fvcking deal. For that, I apologize to tgillitzr. That suddenly places me along the ranks of a mass murderer? I think you have problems buddy.

First FEDERALprisoner to be executed by lethal injection. Lethal injection has been done many times.
yah, i'm ususally against the death penalty, but man he deserves it, in fact, the chair is to humane. i say we let every victim that is a live (including families) get a chance for like a minute and just beat is @ss up. then lets uhmmm..hmm drag him from the end of a truck for a few miles, then we can just have FUN and play with the electric chair with him in it. The guy killed more people than soldiers died in the gulf war.
peace (not for Mcviegh though)

You're the ass with problems, I wasn't talking about you. How you came to that conclusion is beyond me.

The only people who have problems are those who think the world will be a better place if the Federal Government murders a prisoner.
Politically McViegh needs to die. It's closure for the families that endured the pains of lost loves and lives. For our government it's the opportunity to take a stance.
mithrandir2001,
After reading your post, I think I've changed my stance on capital punishment. You're right. We should be ashamed of disposing of a waste of humanity that killed 168 people because he had a problem with the government. We should let McVeigh stay alive for the next 40-60 years, allow him to spew his unremorseful crap and continue to watch cable TV at a huge expense to the taxpayers. The guy is a martyr and selfconfessed murderer of 168 people. FRY HIM, LET HIM BE JUDGE BY HIS VICTIMS AND BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe if we executed more death row inmates in a quicker manner, a few future murderers would think twice before commiting the crime. If we don't execute him at least sentence him to solitary confinement with no visitors, no luxuries and let him die a slow, quiet psychologically painful death!
