I've always held that capital punishment is an abomination that no civilized people should practice, I've also said that if we're going to have it it should be done in public for all to see.

So who's going to be watching?

I think you're wrong on both counts.

Public makes it more of a deterrence for others instead of just a reaction to an individual bad actor. Hang'um high in the streets!

A few years back, I toured Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin and they showed us where the British would do public executions to scare the Irish and/or to act as a crime deterrent. They said they quickly stopped doing that when they realized people were actually coming for the show and it wasn't a deterrent at all.

I have no idea if that kind of thing would happen here or not. Kind of sad state of affairs that we might end up finding out. 

didn't they just just toss bin Laden out of a helo for shark chum?

I'd be fine with that

When a human body is attacked by sea creatures I have perverse fascination for the short pause and then underwater mushrooming of blood.

I'll make a prediction.  People will spend weeks getting their panties in a bunch about broadcasting it.  They won't end up broadcasting it and nobody will spend much time getting their panties in a bunch about the actual execution.  

I'm old enough to remember when snuff films were kept under wraps and only shared in brown paper bags.

@drjb no. He was buried at sea off the side of a carrier.

And that's why he was never invited into the Dream Team.   I'm looking for over/under on Fanduel and Brad is closing his eyes.  It's 11 for those curious, by the way.

@drjb are you kidding? You really don’t know what burial at sea is?

@single_king I don't think death is a deterrent for islamists.

that’s a chance I’m willing to take. 

 


Morally Flexible. Kinda.
