I don't think Texas uses a lethal injection machine. As far as I know, the lethal drugs are injected manually.

bah I wanted them to bring the guy in the hooded mask back. Im being serious here too, theres a 'romance' about that figure. (ok none too romantic for the scumbag but who cares about them) This is bringing us back to the basics of it all, doesn't it? Death penalty by LI has become an "ethically correct" thing to do, ad it looks more like medical care to everyone (including the executioners) than an actual, grizzly death. But even so, executioners remain hidden. The hood is replaced by a one-way mirror.

The black hood is not only terrifying, but also adds to the executioner's mystique. All you can see of his face are the eyes. After the execution, the hooded figure mysteriously disappears into the night and blends in with the crowd. Kind of like Batman.

Problem is some lawyer would say that would be inflicting mental trauma on the condemned. Then we would have shut the machine down for 7 months while SCOTUS reviewed the case.

Then we would have shut the machine down for 7 months while SCOTUS reviewed the case. Don't give ideas...you never know who reads these boards. Being serious, the murderer caused their victims mental trauma, but was that considered by said murderer? No. Therefore the state shouldn't worry about what a prisoner is experiencing anyway-they made their gurney, now they have to lay in it. Also, if they really want to use that argument of mental trauma, prisoners can argue that prison in itself is mental trauma enough. Then what we have is the whole slippery slope/floodgate arguments to better accomidate the prisoner and royal pi$$ off everyone else. Therefore I conclude that mental trauma is not an effective argument to stop the DP.

I agree. If there is to be a death penalty in a society, that said society should be able to bare with the executioner's visible presence so that the consequences be plain to both the executee's side and the society's.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is one reason why I voted for the Twins for April's MOTM. ;D

than an actual, grizzly death. A "grizzly" is a species of bear (ursus horribilis). You mean "grisly," i.e., "causing a shudder or feeling of horror; horrible; gruesome: a grisly murder."

Somebody here posted a video link an interview with the hangman in Singapore. It's probably still out there someplace. I believe he got fired for giving the interview.
Also, the Albert Pierrepoint movie is pretty good, too. Check it out on Netflix. He was the hangman in England during the 50's and 60's, I think.

There is another movie, apparently, simply called "Hangman". It depicts the more barbaric 17th or 18th centrury. Or so I've heard. I have yet to get my hands on either of them. Not the hangmen, the movies.
