Fry him?
Hanging's cool:
Lethal injection is so clinical..almost like going to the doctors!
Beheading ain't so bad...they do say that a severed head only remains conscious for about 30 seconds.
Yeah...let's get some vengeance here!

dead is dead, so what difference does it make?
if the SOB committed a heinous crime then he should pay the penalty...
let's consider how horribly the victims died or suffered and then ask if mercy should be extended to the guilty
How about we charge ring side tickets, or perhaps pay for view? Take that money and do something good with it.
I'll bet that there are a lot of people that would pay good money to see Scott Peterson get done in. Or a David Westerfield from San Diego who molested and killed his neighbor who was only 7?
I know that idea is a bit demented, and said with some humor, but in reality, people would do it. They absolutely would pay to see it.
Another point of keeping these guys in jail for so long. Look at Charles Manson. What good does he do sitting in prison? He offers nothing positive to anyone, will never get out, and if he did, he would kill again, without question. We spend way too much money on people like this. Take this money, put it towards education, health care, whatever.
How can you be conscious for 30 seconds after you've been beheaded? Did they get someone that was beheaded to talk to them for the next 30 seconds?? Now, THAT sounds dumb!
I'm all for making the death penalty a public spectacle . I'd even settle for a gladiator type death match with the winner getting a couple months cable TV and a visit to the spa or something LOL .

Why do we need to see Scott Peterson die? While we may be sickened by his crime and hope that he pays with his life, it does us no good to watch his death. We didn't know him or his family. This is where it becomes a spectacle, sport even. Like the gladiators killing the christians in Rome. It's the family that can get closure from seeing the guilty suffer, not us. Just a report in the newspaper that the execution was carried out sometime last week is all that we need to know that justice was done.

Yea, the appeals process and the multiple life sentances do no one any good. Multiple life sentances....so why bother keeping them alive? They are of no use in society. They're getting 3 hots and a cot at our expense. They're getting better educations and health care than the poor get. Why should we waste our money on scum like this?
The current medical consensus is that life does survive, for a period of roughly thirteen seconds, varying slightly depending on the victim's build, health and the immediate circumstances of the decapitation. The simple act of removing a head from a body is not what kills the brain, rather, it is the lack of oxygen and other important chemicals provided in the bloodstream. To quote Dr. Ron Wright "The 13 seconds is the amount of high energy phosphates that the cytochromes in the brain have to keep going without new oxygen and glucose" The precise post-execution lifespan will depend on how much oxygen, and other chemicals, were in the brain at the point of decapitation; however, eyes could certainly move and blink.
Yeah, I can imagine the head rolling away after being cut off and looking back at his body and thinking to himself, "Well, this really sucks!"
I remember hearing that back when they used the guillatine(sp) the executioner would pick up the newly severed head and show the body to the head so that the last thing the executed one would see was their body without a head.
Englishman:
Sorry, but none of the pictures you show me can dissuade me from my belief in the death penalty for a person who has no regard for other people's lives. Never mind the blah, blah, blah about an enlightened society, barbarism, and how it will not deter all, etc. What you are saying is that the murderer's life is more important than the persons he has killed.
I couldn't care less if you said I wanted retribution.
