PSA: Death Penalty

[cjgallen]

Texas stopped using the electric chair in 1977 and has since used lethal injection. Without fail, any story posted about someone committing a crime in Texas is followed by:

"LOLLL I hope they FRY!!!"
"Give 'em TEH CHAIR!"

Sorry, but all the chairs are in museums now.

That is all.

And remember: Don't Mess With Texas.

They should just hang people, save time & money.

 

[So]

<---- P&N is that way

Cliffs: I don't care.

below are directions on how to find Texas:

Go east (or west if you're on the east coast) till you smell it, go south till you step in it.

They need to use the death penalty far more often and more swiftly.

I agree.

A couple states still hang people:

LINK

New Hampshire: Authorizes hanging only if lethal injection cannot be given.

Washington: Provides that lethal injection be administered unless the inmate requests hanging.

Nah, that's not quick enough. A bullet through the back of the skull works wonders. Besides, people who get hanged actually suffer. I'm all for torturing the sick fvckers, but when my sensible side returns, I say just put them out of everyone's misery and move on.

Too expensive. On their knees, single gun, single bullet to the back of the head.

You mean executing people that are innocent because our justice system is fvcked up?

Typical pro-life, pro-executing conservative response. BTW this should be in P&N.

What percentage of inmates on Death Row in the last 100 years have been proven innocent after being proven guilty and sent to Death Row?

It doesn't matter, anything higher than 0% is unacceptable.

This thread should not be in P&N. Its about the chair being out of use, not the death penalty itself. The only politics in this thread are the ones that are brought in by others so stop complaining.

The OP said Texas doesn't use the electric chair to fry people anymore. I didn't turn it political, others did when they injected their personal belief on capital punishment into the thread.

I'm not saying that people like Tim Mcveigh shouldn't be executed. You should not ever kill an innocent person, period.
