Apparently the video is already on google, for those who wanna see.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Are you going to watch the hanging?

Mine is very simple: even if the drop technique is less than stellar, the carotid and jugular arteries are compressed, causing unconsciousness in less than a minute. If the drop is good, the neck is broken and the body is paralyzed.


That is all good in theory - but in practice it doesnt always work like that - tis a bit more of an art than a science.

Feel free to argue with me, but try bringing some facts to the table.

The prisoners weight should cause a rapid fracture-dislocation of the neck. However, instantaneous death rarely occurs. (Weisberg, 1991)

If the inmate has strong neck muscles, is very light, if the drop is too short, or the noose has been wrongly positioned, the fracture-dislocation is not rapid and death results from slow asphyxiation. If this occurs the face becomes engorged, the tongue protrudes, the eyes pop, the body defecates, and violent movements of the limbs occur. (The Corrections Professional, 1996 and Weisberg, 1991


sdp has provided a fair bit of info in his post too

Should be simple enough, if they use incompetents then they should be KOing them with gas and then hydrogen cyanide. Takes seconds to a minute at most.


should be yes

unfortunately the US is never too quick to change thier methods of execution

Florida had to recently suspend the use of the lethal injection after �ngel Nieves Díaz took 37 minutes to die last month - he started having muscle spasms & needed an additional injection.

Also the lethal injection doesnt even comply with the procedures for animal euthanasia

In 2005, University of Miami researchers, in cooperation with an attorney representing death row inmates, published a research letter in the medical journal The Lancet. The letter stated that in 43 of the 49 executions they investigated (88%), the level of thiopental in the blood was lower than that required for surgery. This has led them to believe that the prisoners were fully aware of what was happening to them. The authors attributed the rate of likely consciousness among inmates to the lack of training and monitoring in the process, and recommended that states take a look at the American Veterinary Medical Associations recommendations on animal euthanasia, which prohibits the use of paralytic agents in combination with barbiturates and adopts as the only "acceptable method" for euthanizing nonhuman primates a single injection of a short-acting barbiturate such as sodium pentobarbital.

The opponents say that because death can be painlessly accomplished, without risk of consciousness, by the injection of a single large dosage of barbiturate, the use of any other chemicals is entirely superfluous and only serves to unnecessarily increase the risk of torture during the execution.
