Two bullets to the head takes care of the objective - his death. The purpose is not my emotional gratification through the causing of excruciating pain using torture. The purpose is not to turn me into a sadist who takes joy from the screaming of humans.
But loving moms and dads are different. I'm sure they'll be better moms and dads after a few sadistic misdeeds. Hell; let the kids watch, that'll teach them not to misbehave!
Well in a way you're right, it would be more gratifiying for a mother or father in some cases, especilly ones who had lost a child. But not even all of them would want that punishment for the offenders. In my mind it's more about deterent, if intelligent animals see no "punishment" for their actions, they will not see their actions as having such a steep price for them to pay if confronted.
A lot of these murdering & raping animals in our society think they will get off or at the very least get pity from the courts & only be sentenced to life in prison (which sometimes isn't even life, but only 30 years until parole is possible) & the ones who are sentenced to death die in seclusion & the reports are "the criminal went peacefully"
My plan is for the would be criminals to see the horror of being skinned alive, rolled in fiberglass insulation & dumped into a pool of strong salt water; taken out & tied down while the executioner crushes their teeth with pliers one by one & continuing in that fashion until the offender expires.
That way the offender gets his (or hers) & the would be offenders have a penalty to think about that they have seen with their own eyes is no easy or "peaceful" death. Did Samantha Runion die easy? How about Carly Brucia? We know Jessica Lunsford didn't, unless a prepubescent body being forcefully penetrated vaginally & anally for hours & hours wasn't bad enough...he buries her alive? WTF sort of humane treatment do they deserve?
It's like the mountain lion problem, when they stop being killed by humans, they lose their fear of us & begin to view us as prey. We should re-instill fear into those murdering rapists minds. I.M.O. of course. As far as who would stoop down to their level to send them on that journey? I would, I volunteer to torture anyone like that John Couey or however you spell it, if they admit guilt, I have no problem with it at all, man or woman...Susan Smith....Andrea Yates....no problem.
