An execution needs to be horrible, otherwise its not much of a deterrent. Hang them, crucify them, draw & quater them, or use a firing squad. Whats so horrible about painlessly going to sleep? Fuck that, its a pussy way to get the job gone.

It's not painless. Lethal injection is actually pretty terrible. Being hanged would probably be one of the quickest, least painful ways to go. Basically split second. Lethal injection is not that fast. It paralyzes you and then slowly shuts down your organs until you die. There's more to it than that, but it isn't a simple "take a shot, say goodnight" situation.

I believe in the death penalty for negotiation purposes. However, for it to work as a negotiation purpose, you actually have to follow through on it once in a while. It's a real Catch-22. I think the fact that humans commit error way too often, especially when prosecuting others, is extremely extremely dangerous when we are talking about the death penalty. Killing a convicted person and then later finding out via new technology that they were innocent is just horrible.
