thinking about it more i feel like the reason we inject people instead of shooting them in the head is to protect the executioner rather than the prisoner

Though I lean a bit toward anti side I'm pretty neutral about the whole issue. I do think killing someone like Alieen Wuornos is just wrong. She clearly had a mental impairment. That kind of thing should factor into the decision making process. I don't think tsarnaev should get the death penalty either. His actions seemed completely puppeted by his older brother.

Also, with the whole injection process, the issue of running out of the drug to execute people with seems to have fizzled out. Anyone know what's going on with that?

Homie, your statements are everything I am not about. I am not looking at this from a fry the fucker stand point. I am looking at from the perspective, that they need to pay for what they did. You are advocating torture and that is the eye for and eye mentality that makes people with a pro death stand point look like bloated murdering fascist gas bags. Like I said before if I wanted to torture them I would send them to prision and leak out their wrap sheet before they get there, and let the prison system face **** them.

I personally see death as fair and just in cases like this. The offender took something so precious from someone, and they did it in a way that was so horrible the only fair thing is to put them to sleep. Much like the rabid dog statement I made in the beginning. You don't torture an animal, when they are rabid, you euthanize it in the way that they don't feel it. Instead of letting them suffer and possibly hurt more people. I feel like the death sentence is just that, only on a human level. I feel like it needs to be treated with reverence, and be handed out only when the situation warrants it.

Comparing Westerfield with a rabid dog is wrong on every level. He was cold and calculating. Even after he had killed her he was still trying to figure out ways to escape. His defense even tried to pin it on his own son in order to get him off.

I'd torture the guy to death if given the opportunity.

i would think they could sanitize a simple execution chamber for a lot cheaper than what it takes to do the injection.

You would know. Considering you have shot a president in the head.

No I do not, and this is news to me, would you be kind enough to link me some info?

I agree with you also Dread, I don't think we should run around executing people who obviously have a mental illness or extenuating circumstances. By all means let them paint in the puzzle factory and make sure they remain medicated the rest of their natural lives receiving therapy. Imo if the death penalty were truly barbaric, we wouldn't give a **** who we execute. But we actually do care, that's why the country is divided and some states don't practice it. I live in a state where we do, and I am happy we have it.

In Wournos's case she was sane enough to know what she did was wrong. And I don't think she should have gotten death. I wouldn't have voted death if I were on that jury. I also wouldn't have given her life either. I would have given her 25. Because what was done to her the events that made her that way, also make her as much of a victim as the men she shot and killed. Don't make what she did right, but it's fair, again imo. I am for death when they aren't sorry, they don't care, and given the opportunity they will re-offend . That is a rabid human being, by my definition and they should be treated accordingly.
