Lethal Injection
 

So, I found a video that freaked me the fuck out. It is a re-enactment of a lethal injection [you know the death penalty / capital punishment]. It is realistic as hell. The 13:44 is worth your time.

What are your thoughts on the issue?

Don't really care about the method. I'm against capital punishment no matter what form.

This.

You didn't have time to watch the video LOL. If you do, you'll be even MORE against it. It gave me the chills.

I prefer vigilante justice.

You mean vigilante revenge, right?

Eh, revenge and justice are sometimes intertwined or blurred. If someone commits a heinous crime against someone else, I would much rather see the victim or someone on their behalf be the one to dole out a receipt, as they have a personal stake in the matter.

But, I can see how that would lead to a myriad of problems if that happened en masse.

Do you have any ideas for a better/perfect system of justice?

I used to think all life was sacred. Not anymore. I believe some people forfeit their right to exist through their actions (example: ISIS militants and other mass murderers, people who rape kids, etc). They have no use to society and their further existence in prison is only a burden on the taxpayers.

Not sure if I'd be able to push the button myself so it might be a little hypocritical, but then I don't kill my own meat either.

The biggest problem with the capital punishment is that sometimes it's not 100% clear if someone did what they're accused of. For those cases where it is clear, and I was the judge, I wouldn't mind dishing it out. Good riddance to bad rubbish. :/

13 minutes is like 2h in internet time so I'm gonna assume something went wrong and there was some suffering involved. I wouldn't be too upset if that happened to let's say, this guy.. But I guess we have all those laws and conventions that mandate every piece of trash should be treated humanely. Back to drawing board for the lethal injection people I guess!

Did anyone else actually watch the video?
