_m8 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 In the spirit set by the "one bullet" thread I thought I'd get your views on this issue. Did you know that some American states still have electrocution and the gas chamber as a means of executing people? Personally I'm dead against it.
trinitytalk Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 hanging, one of the longest i think, so they suffer more like they should
Jon Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 none. but, if i had to choose a method, it would be death by incessant playing of Barry manilow records
wazzap24 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I don't know about the methods but, I am for the death penalty in cirumstances where the verdict is beyond doubt. murderers and sexual criminals deserve nothing less.
jimmygreaves Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Chinese burn....................... would be my choice, but its not in the poll.
_m8 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 I am for the death penalty in cirumstances where the verdict is beyond doubt. Like the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six?
Jon Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Chinese burn....................... would be my choice, but its not in the poll. just out interest, does anyone know why a chinese burn is so called? i am intrigued. this should've been in Drat's strange questions thread of a few days ago.
jimmygreaves Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 The verdict was in doubt, they were released. I think DNA evidence would go some way to proving guilt beyond doubt nowadays, if the circumstances warranted it. Then the deadly Chinese Burn would dish out justice.... AAAAABWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
wazzap24 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I am for the death penalty in cirumstances where the verdict is beyond doubt. Like the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six? I can see your point. It is a very difficult subject and not one that can be easily debated on a mb. For my part I would support the re-introduction of the death penalty however, there would need to be strict guidelines in place. I would only support it in cases where the evidence was 100% accurate and backed up by solid forensics etc. Not circumstantial evidence or witness testimony. It's just my opinion, if accuracy could not be guaranteed then I would not support it . I just can't justify in my own mind that convicted Paedophiles and child killers should be allowed to live.
jimmygreaves Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I just can't justify in my own mind that convicted Paedophiles and child killers should be allowed to live. But they're mentally ill. So not neccesarily responsible for their actions.
wazzap24 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 True again it is a grey area. But again if they have wilfully molested/killed a child and they are sentanced to life imprisonment then what purpose does it serve for them to be locked away and not killed?.
jimmygreaves Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Then Chinese Burn them to within an inch of their lives!!!!
BOF Posted February 16, 2005 Moderator Posted February 16, 2005 I don't agree with the death penalty BUT if there HAD to be one I'd go for guillotine. Give us a show baby
Shillzz Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Technically you can still get the death penalty in this country for starting a fire in a naval dockyard. Since the film Green Mile I have always had an interest in the electric chair. (Interest does not extend to a concerning length)
TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 For the really sick Rapist and killers out there they should have the Clock work orange style treatment were they have there eyes wired permananty open and show them the error of there ways
andrew Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Technically you can still get the death penalty in this country for starting a fire in a naval dockyard. (Smartarse mode)Not anymore. colin..... Bastard.
