I wonder which execution method is more prone to error, hanging, lethal injection or electric chair?
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.
I wouldn't consider decapitation an error!

Yea, isn't that just an added bonus?

The bottom line is that painful/cruel punishment is a deterrent, but only to the degree that such is painful. Our Religion supposedly inflicts the most severe of painful punishment for the most egregious offenses; such being ultimate “eternal punishment” of the most painful sort.
To the degree that a society neglects to impose this deterrent on the guilty it only guarantees that the pain will be inflicted on the innocent. Zero sum game.
An ‘out of the box solution’ may well be the AI based option to essentially CHANGE the mind of a sociopathic individual via Elon’s “Convergence “ wherein AI can be integrated into the Biological ‘Mind’. Of course that is another rabbit hole as the Transhumanist Movement fully embraces that High Tech for the cause of immortality and perception power. Read “The Transhumanist Wager” if one doubts their sincerity as a Human Right.
It’s coming. “The “Kingdom of Heaven on Earth “. Will be accompanied with big time fireworks.

I don't care about method of execution. It's not a deterrent if the guy is executed 35 years after his conviction. He'll probably die of old age first. We need to execute after 6 months for appeals. And as I've said decades ago, I don't care if it's a deterrent. Executing really bad people just gives me a warm feeling.

Years ago the U.S. Army worked all that out. They created a chart with height, weight, and drop distance. When used it breaks the correct vertebra.

I’ve never been against some killers having to experience an idea of what their victim(s) likely endured.
I guess I’m just medieval in that respect.

I say a bullet is as cheap as a rope. Wood is expensive to build a gallow.
Nowadays they would say the bruising of the neck violates the killers rights or some crap.
The lethal injections have been halted for failure
Death row inmates cost how much being on death row for 10, 20 years?

Oh hell yes and the relatives must promptly retrieve the body and head or face heavy fines.

You want 100% effective and zero cost?
Inject 30 milligrams of fentanyl into the condemned.
A 2 milligram dose can be lethal to a human. If you want to make it painless, give them 0.5 milligrams first to set them at ease then push another 29.5 to cause the kill.
We could use confiscated fentanyl and the cost would be zero. Also anti death penalty people couldn't sue the drug maker to keep them from providing the drugs.

It’s to help maybe show the next one what will be happening, with the hope it curbs future heinous crimes

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.
Are you seriously trying to claim that Trump and/or Congress have made any serious dent in our budget problems?

None of this is going to come close to fixing the deficit/debt.
As usual, you getting DV’d for saying what any Trump voter would have said if the parties were different.
I don’t agree with you most of the time, but there are too many slackjaws on this board that would downvote you for saying “Merry Christmas”.

Your not medieval, you're just a normal man with a normal functioning brain as the good Lord intended! It's folks that believe as we do that can steer society in the right direction.
All the panzy arse, compassionate, progressive Marxist will only lead us into a failed culture and society.
Society is better off when folks have no misunderstanding of what's right, wrong, or the consequences.
