Poll: Electric chair or Firing Squad - choose how you die

[Rusty Student]

Death by firing squad was one considered honorable (and quick). I'll take that.

Always thought that if people are going to hang themselves that they might as well do autoerotic asphyxiation. At least they can find you hanging there with your dick in your hand.

Being suffocated by one of @Ole Ted's PAWGs

only if I can jerk off durring the execution

I’ve watched lots of documentaries on this subject and among those that actually commit sentences it’s believed Electric Chair is actually the most humane

They hit you with a voltage that your brain can’t even get the pain signals to generate before your brain is overloaded and dead.

The movies always made it look worse than it is(Green Mile Especially) but in the modern era you’re dead immediatley if done right

 

[ChicagoFats]

Meh, i'll take firing squad.

I'll pass on Old Sparky.

That is probably true. I'd say a good shot with about any rifle round through the heart would be pretty quick too, if not instant. I bet you'd lose consciousness within a second or two.

I’d take a shot of COVID.

You’re relying on the accuracy of other people and the way they do it isn’t like this Gif(at least in Utah where it was legal up to like 2005)

They only get 5 guys with rifles with 4 bullets and one blank(so each guy can assume they may have not killed the guy)

Crazier things have happened than people surviving 4 rifle rounds to the chest

You'd hope 1 of 4 could hit the heart from close range on a still target with a rifle...but I sure don't trust the government, or prison system, to hire anyone halfway worth a shit for that job, so you are probably correct. The chair is probably more reliable for a quick death.

I think they only did one firing squad execution in like 90 years before they got rid of it. Some crazy biker found some legal loophole that he could still request it and that’s how they chose to carry out

If they could do a headshot I would take that easily over electric, but getting chest shot I don’t think you avoid the momentary pain impulse even if they pulverize your heart with those 4 bullets

Edit: also to play devils advocate against myself, nothing seems worse than a botched electric chair, but I’m not sure that’s even happened since the 1800s

Edit: I was wrong

 

[Cre8ive]

Take me out in style - 10 men with AK-47's all aimed at my sick little head.

 

[JordanPetersHorn]

Source of a Stanford Study. Statistically those are the two with the least botches, but firing squad has a very small sample size

Anybody who reads your link and still chooses the chair is insane.

"Allen Lee Davis, 1999: The last Florida inmate executed using the electric chair, Davis was convicted of killing a woman and her two children. During his execution, blood poured from his face onto his shirt, and he was alive for about 10 minutes after executioners pulled the plug."

"Jesse Joseph Tafero, 1990: During his execution via the electric chair, Tafero's head erupted into flames, and it took three shocks for him to stop breathing. Tafero, who was accused of shooting and killing two law enforcement officers, was later found to be innocent."

You know what is funny about that video? Some of the nazi bastards missed his ass! LOL!

Yeah those were brutal ones. The stats are good and the qualitative aspects are better in terms of like amount of pain you feel, but Jesus Christ could you even imagine one of those poor souls(I use this term loosely they both would have been tortured in the 1800s no questions asked)

Lethal Injection also seems bad because they can’t get like a qualified nurse in there or someone that is well practiced at doing the IV

Yea I never understood how you fvck up a lethal injection. Put someone to sleep the give the hot dose. Seems pretty basic

IIRC ethical issues preclude any medical personel from doing it, or at least it used to in its infancy.

Also veins are hard as fuck to hit sometimes there is an art to it

Maybe they should try an abortion "doctor".

The last thing I am going to worry about is some poor killer feeling some discomfort because someone can't get a vein the first time.

Some of them really should be tortured to death if we want to be honest about the whole practice

Thank God we don't give our government the power to do that, though. The current administration would love to torture alot of us Trump supporters, if they only had the chance.

They let people at Walgreen's and elsewhere give injections. Are they qualified?

Like the dude that kidnapped the four year old boy so he could stab him to death.

He deserves the blood eagle.

 

[JordanPetersHorn]

Yes because “primum non nocere” or “first do not harm” is followed there which broadens the spectrum of medical personnel available

It’s a massive issue to get those personnel to violate their primary ethical dictate that they all follow and do the opposite by killing the person

Load me up with heroin and I’ll drift off. Seems like a simple solution to me.
