The argument of "cruel" for hanging deals with how the noose is put on the condemned as well as their weight.


If you've got a big fat frick on a gallows, there's a good chance their head could pop off completely.

Just a matter of using the appropriate length of rope. Would be more effective and humane than shooting imo, there are cases of humans being loaded full of bullets and continuing to live.

Besides, having your head pop off would probably be preferable to strangling to death.

Drowning wouldn't be a bad option either imo.

That's why I'd use steel cable. More than likely it supports the heavier weight. (And if it didn't it would cut through quicker, again a successful execution.)

Besides, how come the anti-dp crowd cares so much about the condemned, yet nothing about how the victim died (which, in some cases, was absolutely horrific?)
