Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted August 21, 2015 My reasons against the death penalty are Derek Bentley, Ruth Ellis and Timothy Evans. Aye, but three decent movies as a result, not a complete waste, then. Another genuine lol moment there. Cheers Mary! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted August 21, 2015 Electric chair if I mind right... Pneumatic orthopaedic armchairs are far more efficient, Look how many kids have suffocated to death after getting trapped in their mechanis......... Maybe not, but its something to have a chew over, aye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted August 21, 2015 Dr Hawley Crippen was convicted and hanged for the murder of his wife, Cora. The remains of the body referred to in court were subsequently found by DNA testing to be those of a man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, he botched his own attempt at transgender surgery on the missus and tried to escape before the results did for his career, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted August 22, 2015 Who the fuck was Derek Batey? Serial shagger, legendary in fact. Responsible for most divorces in UK during the 70's & 80's. Died in an electric chair bondage thing a couple of years back. Think, "older Michael Hutchence, but who dressed elegantly". 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted August 22, 2015 Having said I personally don`t think the death penalty is the best punishment I don`t particularly care if some arsehole rapist or murderer in Texas gets the chair.Just though I would clear that up so none of you thought I was a hippy do-gooder pacifist or summat You say that as if it's a bad thing. While I'm neither hippy (If anything, I'm a punk rocker), do-gooder, nor pacifist, some of my best friends are hippy do-gooder pacifists. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted September 13, 2015 Thought I'd receive this since if things go to plan on the 16th Richard gossip will be executed and honestly I don't know wheiter this guy is innocent or not because on one hand you have a witness varying in testimony and on the other his alibi fails as why would he try to get a lawyer before he'd know that Sneed will point him out.

The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted November 9, 2015 My opinion is that although a tempting prospect as a punishment to some abhorrent crimes such as murder rape and child molestation the death penalty is not the best solution.If you want someone to suffer for their crimes why kill them?Dead people can`t suffer after all.you see the thing is that in prison they have items such as a PlayStation sure its only once a week but still which one do you think would bring more suffering death or prison and if you need more proof of this just look at the way they will try to get put of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimmrpm999 3 Posted December 27, 2015 The U.S.A. Has the largest prison population as a percentage of its own population! It NEEDS to cull them on a regular basis. It has around 5℅ of the world's population as a whole, yet it has nearly 25℅ of the total people held in prison. Texas has the highest of the states but then, the southern states tend to have more draconian laws any way. Land of the free. Ah, such Irony. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, unlike certain places on earth you might mention. A few more years with a "Democrat" at the helm and that might only be a vague memory of course.
