Should we reconsider the death penalty?

by Whaleoil on November 10, 2009

Cactus Kate poses the question, someone I am sure will set up a Facebook Group but it seems we are incarcerating a greater number of disgusting individuals who we would really rather be without, them or the cost of incarceration.

In Ancient Rome they had a public strangler, the Spanish used the Garrote until 1974 for public executions.  In Thailand drug dealers are machine gunned to death. personally I think Madame Guillotine to be far too humane for these animals.

Fortunately we have Wikipedia that lists all the most common methods of execution.

I think my preference would be for Ling Chi. Looks really nasty and painful, and given our free trade agreement with China, perhaps we could simply outsource the arrangements. Gruesome Photo of Ling Chi from 1905 (seriously don’t click this if you are a sook).

    Here's a suggestion for a reality TV programme – Survivor: Corrections. We could pair off some of NZ's worst cons. The survivor of each round moves on to the next round until at some point in time only two remain, who then are double-bunked in a cell until only one remains.

    For a first-round pairing, you could have Clayton Weatherston and Jason Somerville …

    You'd have to be a bit of a sicko to want something like Ling Chi carried out against *anyone*. Even if they deserved it.

    i support the death penalty – we need it. i am ready to answer the job on seek of "man to kill scum" – i will do for no pay – just to help our country out. we can empty the jails pretty quickly, and stop the nonsense that is this county. also we can get rid of that cock sucker Garth Mc " i do fuck all really" Vicar – oh shame on me… he is on the TV blowing bubbles up peoples backsides

    Hung, drawn and quartering. Take a p-manufacturing gang leader, subject him to a public execution and display his body parts outside gang headquarters throughout the country.
