Ed Aum Shinrikyo Cult Leader Executed

I will never support the death penalty, but have often wondered, at the risk of being stupid why do they not use the green dream that works so well for our beloved pets?

I also wondered why they don't just put them to sleep or heavy sedation and then give an O.D. I think this is the idea but they seem to bungle it so often.
I recall it had something to do with not being able to do a 'medical' procedure and not being able to use a doctor - it violates ethics. I still dont really get it as they do have some formula that they use. Why not choose one that works?

Probably because no-one has worked out the specifics of dose needed for humans, and actual medical professionals refuse to take part.

Personally, if I had to choose, I'd go for a pure nitrogen atmosphere, which apparently just puts you to sleep with no distress.

Couldn't they just sew him in a bag with two wild cats and throw him in the Tiber?

Creative executions are a lost art.

Interesting, I've wondered the same about carbon monoxide.

Or feed him to moray eels. Or wall him up alive?

Or make him sleep in a closed room with an electric fan running.

This is Japan. Ceiling fans only kill in South Korea.

I missed that reference?

 

[JoeMorgue]

I missed that reference?

Oddly widespread Urban Legend in parts of Korea that leaving a fan on while sleeping can cause suffocation.

Or how about, making him eat a sandwich and some potato salad, and then go swimming without waiting half an hour first? That's guaranteed to be lethal; just ask my mother.

Give it a few more years, and May will take the UK out of the CoE as well and reintroduce the death penalty, so the UK can join those illustrious ranks.

Sorry, for weirdly late reply, but I just saw this thread. May is going to leave the Church of England? Why would that even be necessary? They had plenty of hangings while the CoE was the official state religion.

Should have just locked him in a subway car full of sarin gas. Let the punishment fit the crime.

Yes, that's very civilised.

Civilization is a social construct. So are crime and punishment.

What you meant to say was, "I find your idea personally offensive".

No, CoE = Council of Europe, an organization of 47 European states, which is the author of the ECHR (European Convention of Human Rights) and runs the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights). The CoE disapproves of the death penalty, and the ECHR would rule against such a verdict within a minute.

Does the EHCR have jurisdiction to rule on UK sentencing decisions?

No, I meant to say "That's not very civilised". While it is true that I also find the idea personally offensive, that was not what I was trying to say.

Wow I was wondering when that POS and his minions would finally die.

Not that there are nice ways to kill people but hanging seems a bit barbaric in this day and age.

While by and large I don't support the death penalty as it's practiced in the US, I can't say I'm too worked up about this one. The cult leader and senior henchmen truly seem to fit the bill of worst of the worst.

Hanging is among the quickest execution methods if performed properly. Trapdoor opens...fall some measured distance...neck snaps.
