Some cool trivia, they still have the hangman’s gallows in the Caddo Parish courthouse. Until the 30s and 40s, executions were carried out at the Courthouse following sentencing and appeal. Maybe it’s time to dust them off again?

I’d be in favor of bringing back public hangings. Stockades, too.

At one time LA law required a person sentenced to death to be executed in the Parish they were found guilty in. That brought the mobile electric chair when hangings were considered too gruesome.

Time to bring it back. At the mall on a Saturday afternoon, especially during the Christmas season. You could get your kids picture taken with Santa and then watch a local POS get fried. I bet sales volume would increase, although perhaps not at the food court after the cooking demonstration.
