What? Sorry I wasn't paying attention. Anyway, now I am, so here's my take on it. I've always been pro capital punishment under certain conditions. There has to be iron-clad proof that the person(s) committed the act of which they are accused. Ideally with at least three witnesses and video evidence, maybe a confession (not under duress) too. There also has to be no possibility of rehabilitation, and a good chance that they would reoffend given the opportunity. If there is no hope of them ever rehabilitating and rejoining society in a way that doesn't put the safety of others at risk, then there is no reason that person should be kept around. HOWEVER, we as a society don't and shouldn't want anyone to suffer needlessly, regardless of crime. The justice system should be about rehabilitation and not revenge, but in cases like this when rehabilitation is not an option since the crime is so egregious, then the best way out is a painless quick exit. Hell, living in a cage knowing there's a clock hanging over your head is torture enough IMO. They say it costs more to execute someone than to imprison them for life. I don't see how that is unless it's by design. I could do it for $10 (maybe more if you include the cost of the entire firearm (probably a shotgun) and not just the cartridge (probably slugs.)) Ideally we could solve the problem for pain like the one for suicide. Let the convicted choose what they think would be the most painless way to die, and then use that. Personally I think the suicide helmet would be best, and then burn the remains so there is nothing left that can feel any pain. -
