Didnt the US just overturn a constitutional right in the name of 'the right to life'? It was never really about 'life' is it?

Bring the death penalty back to the U.K.

Should Arizona offer Crucifixion? Maybe he'd prefer to go Old School?

Cast him down into the ocelot pit

Right at the bottom of the article describing how cyanide is bad, the persecution of Jews, a slight familial connection to the Holocaust, his sore back and so on, it mentions oh he killed an 8 year old girl. Kidnapped, raped and murdered her. But oh noes he might suffer.

I see Godwin’s Law is alive and well This monster kidnapped and murdered an 8 year old girl and you're concerned that the method of execution is one that was used by Hitler?

This bullshit is news? Your 'newspaper' can't go extinct quick enough.

Deserves everything he gets. Don't go murdering 8 year old girls.

Boo hoo

America is a lunatic asylum.

*Zero 'dreadful* about the man's choice. Just get it done!

Cause of Bungling

What, no death by firing squad? I thought that was all the latest craze in US executions!

want to see me without a bra?
