Let's roll back the justice system to a 4000 year old vengence oriented system - good plan. Wouldn't want moral and/or ethical evolution to get in the way of a good hanging!

This whole "merciful" injection killing is total horse shit compared to the guillotine. Which form of execution is more instantaneous?

It is a shame executions are no longer public. It would be nice for all to witness the consequences of committing a heinous crime first hand instead of protecting ourselves from the messiness of executions behind closed prison doors.

Haven't we had the "Death Penalty" discussion before? In serious depth?

Saden1 - to the extent I endorse the death penalty (and I do in certain limited circumstances - my posts in the prior thread), I agree. If we as a society are going to endorse using the death penalty, then we shouldn't act as if we are ashamed of it. Personally, generally, I got no problem with the guillioutine.

At the same time, executions should not be a spectacle either. The societal decision to kill is not something that should be viewed for it's entertainment value.
