    Capital punishment - would you pull the lever or....

    If capital punishment was reintroduced, would you be prepared to pull the lever, press the button for the lethal injection, shave the head and flick the lever to electrocute, Lock 'n' load "Fire" the bullet??

    I would be prepared to lethal inject a person, not so sure about the other methods though.

    Re: Capital punishment - would you pull the lever or....

    Funny this should come up - over lunch I and some colleagues mentioned the number of recent multiple murders who have been sent down and we were wondering whether the topic of capital punishment for particular categories of murder would come back into the media (e.g. today's murderer who killed his ex- and her two kids).

    Am asking the question that IF capital punishment was brought back (never mind the offence) Would you do the deed to the 'guilty' one?

    I would set off the lethal injection machine, not so sure about the others though!

    Did anyone see the documentary with Michael Portillo where he was trying to find a painless way of executing people?

    Back to the topic, I dont think I'd be too up for it, but flicking the switch seems to be the easiest one for me.

    All and any of the above appropriate if 110% sure accused is guilty and verdict not reached due to corruption.Method of death not relevant- if crime premeditated.

    What about keeping someone alive as better punishment.....make it long, drawn out and ensure subject finds no-one and nothing safe......

    ie : General population for kiddy-fiddlers.
    or 30 years Solitary Confinement

    Then no-one need take responsibility for shooting, hanging or injecting and responsibility stay on the head of those to whom it belongs.

    So which one of you has never paid cash directly to avoid VAT, or not, prior to 2000, practiced your archery skills after (compulsory attendence at) Church? How many of you have shaved, for example - a prohibited act in the Bible?

    Looks like they'll be no takers then!

    If it had been proven without reasonable doubt that the individual had committed the crime (as in the case of the moors murderers and others) I would be prepared to do the deed, but only if the famly of those who had lost loved ones agreed, and then only if they had turned down the chance to end the killers life personnally.
