I love this. Again, needs to be done quicker. No feeding these animals.

Tell me why the electric chair and the lethal injection and the panoply of other methods were rejected and replaced by a shot to the heart if it doesn't provide a relatively consistent, quick, and painless death?


Define relatively.

A few seconds of pain as the lights fade out is arguably the most humane death possible.

So did this happen yesterday? If so I hope it gave the family the closure they needed. People can say all they want that it doesn’t give the family closure but they’d be wrong. As someone who’s family was very personally affected by murder and the death penalty, it definitely helps once the sentence is finally carried out.

The biggest travesty is that this piece of shite sat on death row for 24 years.

They should allow the victims family to do it. Except if it was me I would probably miss his heart and blow his dick off.

After watching the Popeyes commercial with that big, greasy fatass bragging about her 3 piece, I’ll never go there.

I’ve always seen the death vs life in jail the other way. True, it cost taxpayers $ but who cares. Ever notice the $$ we spend on stupid shite? I think it’s more penalty to rot in jail than to be killed. If I was the victims family I’d vote to let him die in jail.

He was unconscious, just like when someone has an arrhythmia, passes out, and "drops dead." Yes, it took a little longer for him to officially die, but he wasn't just hanging out in the chair awake for another minute after the shots hit him.

While understanding the concept of the death penalty, I am not fascinated with watching people die. Sick people behavior


Nobody is watching him die but the people who need to.

It’s kind sick to me people can do the most disturbing things to people and kids and kill them while making them experience pain and fear and we got people like you worried if these people are comfortable when they get their punishment.

This is truth. And even a firing squad was too easy for him. Should have been beaten to death with a baseball bat like he did his victims.

Just like that a-hole who died last week on La.'s death row from cancer a few days shy of his execution date. He too spent close to 30 years on death row after killing a child by beating and scalding him to death.

Am I remembering rightly, but when there are three shooters, doesn’t only one have a live round and the other two have blanks? So they never know which shooter was the actual executioner?

Brad got 3 buckets of KFC Original chicken for his final meal. Woulda been more fitting if they used the electric chair ?

He ordered it so he could share with the other inmates around him


No he didn't. That's what he ordered but he only got 4 pieces of fried chicken.

This was covered earlier in the thread.

The inmates on death row disagree with you. That’s why they all file appeal after appeal after appeal.

Eh... I'd equate that more to succinylcholine. If I paralyze your heart... Along with the rest of you, you are still conscious...until you aren't.

He 1000% felt the shots. Deservedly so.
