I think that death should be dealt swiftly and as painlessly as possible... But complaining about a little burning or the prick of a needle just makes you a wussy. If you man enough to kill a cop, but you aint man enough to deal with a little poke, there is something wrong there. They are phasing Old Sparky out, they are getting rid of hanging, firing squad is no longer common, and the needle was about as gentle as you could get. If you don't want to die... DON'T KILL PEOPLE JACKASS! Duh.

Man up Nancy.

Maybe the method of execution should be decided by the victims immediate family. The death penalty stopped being a real deterent when executions stopped being public. And, consider how far we have come since 1867.

In lethal injection, usually the first injection is a powerful barbituate that quickly causes unconciousness. I don't consider giving someone a shot cruel, nor unusual.
