It's a difficult situation. What company wants the PR of knowing that they are the supplier of narcotics to kill people This is why most states have multiple forms of the death penalty. One thing about the firing squad, it never fails and it's pretty painless. I always figured the chair would hurt like hell, but I guess with that many amps running through your body, your nervous system would be too screwed up to really activate the pain receptors.

Nah, the chair is not painless........and lethal injection is not quick.

In florida we used to literally fry people in the chair. One person's head caught on fire during the execution and flames lept out of the top of his head about a foot high. Another person started bleeding out of every orifice on his head.....blood all down his chest. The chair is really pretty grusome! That's why Florida eventually decided to give its death row inmates a CHOICE of death by lethal injection or by the chair. Just guess what they CHOOSE. Florida gave inmates an option so that their death penalty wouldn't be found to be cruel and unusual and knocked off the books for awhile. It wasn't because Florida cared that they were torturing people to death contrary to the Constitution.

Lethal injection can be a problem too. We've had a couple people who didn't die immediately.....in fact, I think it took them 30 minutes to kill one inmate. Getting those drugs fucked up or giving the wrong drugs in the wrong sequence, OR having inexperienced people adminster the injection......all problems. Just a different way to torture. And, no, they do not have trained medical personnel to administer the shot. The executioner used to be a job which guards applied for each time there was an execution. The executioner's identity was hidden. And he was paid about $150 to $200 to flip the switch for the chair. Now they try to train different guards to administer the injections, and that's where you run into problems and end up taking 30 minutes to kill someone.

No doubt that Texas has killed a number of innocent people.

Here's a quote from the article from the link put up in the first post:

"The electric chair fell out of favor after reported instances in which the eyes of inmates popped out and at least one inmate's head burst into flames."


Florida was the one with the head bursting into flames. I don't think the eyes popping out was ours. OMG!!! I'm TOTALLY ANTI-DEATH-PENALTY.............but my gallows humor is getting the best of me here! LOL That sentence from that artilce is sooooo funny! OMG! "The electric chair fell out of favor".........OMG! I can't stop laughing!
