Oklahoma Execution Method?

QUOTE="Ignored Member, post: 3081882, member: 8613"]Lethal injection costs around $500 per execution.
A rope and a tree is under $50 and can be used multiple hundreds of times without needing new materials.

I am all for frugality too. A box of 50 suitable BJHP rounds can be had for less than $25. If a Glock was the instrument of delivery, we'd save even more as they do not require much in the way of maintenance between firings. But, if one insists on a more accurate accounting, factor in the occasional expenditure of a few drops of bore cleaner and a few drops of oil on a few cloth patches, and we are still at less than .60 cents per.[/QUOTE]

Yep, and that would be cheaper than maintaining enough lions and tigers for a coliseum type execution.

Exsanguination.

Messy, but cheap.

While I share the dislike of murderers and scumbags, I have to agree with several of the folks here in opposition of the death penalty. Life is too precious a thing to be in the hands of human error.


When the state executes and innocent man, we are all guilty of the murder. Just because it was an "accident" doesn't bring life back into the innocent, or happiness back into the lives of those whom we've stolen it from. If one could guarantee that the accused is Guilty, I would be all for it and would infact be in support of expanding it to child molesters and maybe some rapists.

But I'd rather spare 100 murderers than kill one innocent person.

I'm all in for making it painful. but that no cruel and unusual punishment thing.
Let us say someone rapes my daughter. Later, I catch them, place their penis in their mouth, and make their berries into earrings, while they watch it on a big screen 4k TV. However they do not die, I then decide to skin them alive. Fortunately, they do not die. So, I place a 15 foot tall, ruff cut, pole in their ass and slowly let them slide down on it until it pokes out of their shoulder. I have skillfully placed a footing at that point to let them die by dehydration.
I get caught because I placed a video of it on snap chat.
The police arrest me, I think I am justified, many agree with me because of my daughter. Should I be torture to death equal to the person that raped my daughter? Or, should the state kill me as painlessly as possible?

I would vote for you to be the States Attorney General.

I am opposed to capital punishment, in general. Not because I don't believe that the culpable sob's don't deserve it, but because if the wrong person is convicted, it can't be reversed.

Every year we hear of people wrongfully convicted of other crimes who are found to not be culpable and are released, often after serving many years. While those years can't be "made right", at least they still have some life left to live.

It is reasonable to believe that some have been wrongfully executed, but once they are gone, it can't be rectified.

While I don't like taxpayers money being used to keep the convicted person alive for life, we do have the ability to do so. That way we can be sure nobody is wrongfully executed.

Of course, it's just IMO.

IMHO You are looking at this wrong. I do not recall any innocent being executed or convicted unless there were lying criminal law enforcement officers coupled with lying criminal prosecutors involved.

To ensure that innocent people are not executed or convicted we need to make LEO's, AG's and Judges fully accountable and prosecutable. Convict and execute a couple of lying cops and AG's and watch how quick the court system turns around for the good.

Loping off hands in the middle east hasn't stopped theft just as the death penalty hasn't stopped heinous crimes in the US. I don't think it has anything to do with the fear of getting caught and the punishment, they simply just think they won't get caught. While there are some mastermind criminals out there, I've have to say that the majority are not, as in 99.99999% are not. Wonder what would happen if upon conviction of a "death penalty/life sentence without parole" crime, the guilty part were given the option of execution or life, and at anytime during that life sentence, the prisoner could ask for the death penalty instead of finishing out the life sentence. Just thinking outside the box a little. Think very many would choose the death penalty upon sentencing or along the way?

Father of the year and acquitted by any Jury I am a member of, yes.

Attorney general, no.

If 8 years of the Obama administration have taught me anything it's that feelings are not a substitute for law.

And any attorney general with his salt would recuse himself from any legal case involving a family member.
