Could always adopt the Chinese method or some other quick method. In any case a few minutes of agony for a covicted terrorist or massacarist is really neither here nor there compared to the suffering they wantonly inflict. Would you honestly care if the killers of Lee Rigby had to suffer an hour of mental and physical agony? I wouldn't, not a jot.

Even thought you have a professed dislike of violence?

Would you be prepared to be the executioner?

It precisely because I dislike violence that I see a need to stamp it out.

I would be prepared to press a button, but I wouldn't want to get my hands dirty. I'd leave that to the less squeamish amongst us. I certainly wouldn't have a guilty conscience as I wouldn't see it as a personal action.

I'm not one for inflicting unnecessary pain on anyone. I'd happily be an executioner of clean and efficient means because I believe it can be the right "punishment" in certain crimes/circumstances.

What do you propose? Pushing them out of an aeroplane flying sufficiently high over a body of water? Guillotine? Strapping them to a piece of wood and putting a remote controlled mini gun/ shotgun in front of them?

What is clean and efficient?

Because I am interested in his thoughts and we were discussing the issue. As you are likely aware, there is much debate in the US at the moment as to what is a humane way of administering capital punishment.

I read a story on-line this week about some people being "outraged" that the organisers of the Bath half-marathon used a photograph to promote it which was a copy of something done by the Boston marathon people after the bombing (a heart shaped pile of running shoes).

Cue outraged tweets like "How many people died in YOUR marathon, Bath?" and "This is an insult to those we honour".

FFS. It's just a running race and a photograph of a pile of shoes.

America has become an emotionally crippled nation, unable to deal with death without constant 'honouring' and 'remembering'. Anyone who doesn't fall into their mawkish line is booed for "disrepecting the fallen."

Maybe stand the terrorist in a street and let off several IED all around him, and if he don't die immidiatly then fix him up and try again until he dead.

I think you'll find that it's only people who jog who are so afflicted, unnecessary exercise addles the brain.

I know of the recent one where they tried a new formula, and it worked.... The criminal is dead.


I tend to reserve my thoughts and sympathies for the victims of these scum.

I really hope Lee Rigby was knocked unconscious from being hit by the car, so he didn't see what happened after,
watching himself being beheaded.

I would remember the pregnant woman that Maguire kidnapped, raped, stabbed in the shoulder, then cut her throat, killing her and the baby that never had a chance for one breath.


What the two that did Drummer Rigby deserve is four horses and a bit of rope. What they will get will be far too good for them.

I sincerely doubt Dennis was worried about what his victim was thinking or feeling in her last minutes..
So why anyone cares about his last few minutes is beyond me.

Methinks the 'outrage' is a little misplaced.

I was thinking the same, just strap a couple of his bombs to his chest, park him in a field, and light him up.

I understand, and I empathise.

The only problem I see with this anger we all share is that we risk becoming what we have first detested. It's a slippery slope for our society.

Anyway, I am not arguing for either way and the crimes were misguided, but ..

No answers, but I would prefer that we don't.

By the way, re this guy, to kill him is to give them the type of martydom mentality that tribe like, I don't agree with that either.

Cheers.

America has a lot of problems, esp since 9/11. If it's implosion the 'terrorists' wanted, it seems to be working
