It would be more fun if they had a "lucky dip" - have a bag containing five or six methods of execution and get the POS to pick one blindly out of the bag - you could make it like a game show (oh, Arnie's already done that). How about a phone-in, like Big Brother - eg., The latest phone poll results show that Mr Archuletta will die by the following methods: Electrocution: 5,000 votes Hanging: 3,212 votes Lethal Injection: 2 votes Gas Chamber: 7,112 votes Firing Squad: 4,346 votes Torcher: 17 votes Drawn & Quartered: 10,168 votes At this point it looks like Mr Archie will become the tenth person this week to be pulled apart! Stay tuned where he has the opportunity to play on to have his head placed on a stick on the outskirts of Gunnison.

I personally think that each state should have all 5 methods (LI, Electrocution, Gas, Hanging and Firing Squad) on the books and let the inmate choose how they would want to die and if they don't choose, pick the first method ever used. Speaking of that, which came first: hanging or shooting? Hanging is the oldest method of execution known to mankind. Plus the EU cannot stop the export of rope lol

I would have to say that the chair is my favorite method of execution for criminals. Who cares if they feel a little pain.
I hate the fact that they get put on standard operating table or gurney, looks like they are going in for medical procedure instead of being punished.

Thats just political gesturing on that idiots part, one of the very reasons why soem anti's oppse the death penalty, because to some politicians its a vehicle and political football and nothing to do with justice or anything else. This clown from Florida in my opinion is a prime exampel of that, gesturing about electric chairs when its far from certain the death penalty will even survive in its present form, laughable at best!

There is no way they will bring back the electric chair, has to be tongue in cheek comment. When one knows or goes back to the test of the electric chair on the first inmate sentenced to the DP, it is crazy when you think of all the test and methods to kill someone..

I would have loved for someone to choose to die in the gas chamber, but that seems unlikely now.

Not to sound cruel but we should not needle them. We should use the electric chair, shooting squad or cut their heads off!

No matter what the method is, I like the chair. All of that wood and simple design makes it look menacing. There is no question as to what its purpose is.
If I were design a new method it would involve that chair. The convict would sit in it. There would be an apparatus with two pneumatic pistons that would be situated to the sides of the criminals head. This would simulate being bludgeoned to death with rock or a hammer. Then the chair would have a strap that would be placed in front of the neck and would pulsating cinching motions, simulating being choked. This would be a special device for that guy that killed his victim in a similar manner.

No I agree, I am also fan of the firing squad,as well. I would have rate my top choices execution would be:
1. Saudi Arabia's Beheading 2. Electric Chair 3. Firing squad 4. Hanging 5. Gas Chamber
being burnt at stake were excellent choices for thugs in the past.

Speaking of burnings at stakes, on this day in 1612 Britain burnt our last heretic. James Wightman from Burton-upon-Trent was a radical Christian and was barbecued.

You'll be tied to a chair and some moron is placed in front of you, talking *bullcrap* until you pass away.
