I'm all for it. The poor girl in the story was 19.

Rep. Burchett’s legislation, the DROP Act, would explicitly authorize hanging as a legal method of execution for federal death penalty cases.
Burchett introduced the bill to force Congress to confront whether it truly supports tough-on-crime policies when faced with the most heinous offenders

According to court affidavits and police reports, she had been bound to a bed with a tow strap, wearing minimal clothing, and subjected to months of torture inside the residence she shared with her boyfriend.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police arrested 24-year-old Thomaz Kenon Hamilton on May 5. He faces charges of first-degree murder and first-degree rape.
Hamilton initially called 911, claiming Stroupe was not breathing, but investigators uncovered overwhelming evidence of prolonged abuse, including weapons, blood-stained items, and cell phones at the scene.

I'd love to see a discussion of if hanging would qualify under the 8th amendment these days. If done right it's very quick and effective, but it can go wrong and lead to prolonged suffering. The guillotine is a vastly superior option.

They should use these people for medical research to better mankind. People will say that is inhuman but what these killers do is inhuman

Being tough on crime doesn't necessitate the hanging route IMO. Does the crime somehow get erased because he would be hung? No. This is to demoralize someone.......and I fully agree.

Guillotine is 100 percent effective and humane. Needs to happen on the steps of the Capitol. High time we quit being pussies

As stated, the 8th Amendment.

I agree with the guillotine. I wonder which execution method is more prone to error, hanging, lethal injection or electric chair?

Don't believe I care

Well I’m all for public torture for the most extreme cases, so count me in on this.

Hanging has to be by and far #1
You have to get the rope just right to break the neck or they suffocate or get decapitated.

You may not care about our laws, but most of us do.

Seems like guillotine, electrocution and firing squad are too messy. Hanging gets a bad rap in this country because of the lynching period. Japan still uses it and so that is good enough for me. Hang 'em high.

FFS.
Enough with the theatrics. Fix the damn debt and deficit.

WTF do you suppose we are currently doing by removing all illegals, auditing each and every government program, and voting out the democrats that have pocketed our own tax dollars?
MANY people forget that we printed 8B dollars, you received $1,400 balance went directly to their pockets via NGOs, and we are left with the inflation.

None of this is going to come close to fixing the deficit/debt.
This is red meat for NPC talking points but ignores the larger picture entirely.
