Excruciating lethal injection sounds good. You murder you suffer simple. Why let them die a quick death after all the pain they caused. Let them die slowly and painfully.
"Whaaa! The person we're going to kill inconvenienced us! From this point on, no more meals for those we're going to kill as we might be slightly annoyed a second time!"–Texas
Capital Punishment doesn't deter murder, It's use is to bring retribution and satisfaction to the victim's family
How could you eat if you knew you would die in 2 hours.

Why is it that goddamn expensive? Do they shoot them with diamonds instead of bullets over there in California?
the only reason capital punishment is so expensive is because when a life hangs in the balance, courts appeals are unlimited so long as the inmate has the money and a feasible argument saying he isn't "beyond a reasonable doubt" guilty. If we limited the number of appeals, capital punishment would be infinitely times cheaper
the sword is the most merciful way to execute cause once the sword touches the back of the neck the executed person losses all types of feeling and senses and he will not suffer a bit
In Finland the gave gardens a big a clean cells with a library to rapist and rape went up by 88%
If you kill someone and get capital punishment then the person who kills that person isn't that murder as well?
We really should go back to firing squad. It's fast, it's humane, and it's cheap.
Is capital punishment effective?

Anti death penalty advocates say that death penalty should be abolished because it's not a deterrent to murder, but even jails are not deterrents to murders nor reduce crimes, so they should also demand government to abolish jails, they don't make sense. Criminals are a liability menace & danger to us they deserve death by being killed
I agree death penalty doesn't deter people from doing the most violent crimes, however I do believe it's necessary needed to address a closure to a particular evil the offender has 100% done.
The US is one of the most advanced countries, but on some things they still live in the dark ages…
why do they need to spend alot of money? make them take cyanide
I think that it is ineffective because it is to "humane," so to speak. We need to bring back more torturous, painful forms of punishment, such as scaphism, cement shoes, sawing, burning at the stake, the Iron Maiden, fatal boiling, (hanging) drawing and quartering, and so on. We need to send a MESSAGE to the lowlife criminals in our society!
I rather just find away to kill my self in prison before they would do the death penalty
The death penalty in my family was never seen as a deterrent for other criminals, but rather delivering justice in the name of the victims. Furthermore, we ought to be using a gun, not expensive chemicals… $1 vs hundreds.
Has anybody ever ordered a pot brownie as a last meal?
We should install the death penalty for gypsies and littering only.
If somebody kill he mean to kill also he must die let him test the kill you kill you Die 2 daddy Can't Stop
Go with the time no waste time you kill you also you could die if you want to protect the people in someone can he have to go to emerge to go to die
If you put Orajel it's not working you kill One X and he want to kill again and again and again so before that that happened when he can let him kill right away like Saudi Arabia if somebody kill he has to go to
Black Iranian government if someone Kill also that person image to died sloth helping put in jail just a 48-hour everything is finished you can you going to
Saudi Arabia Iran other country when someone kill meaning he has to also kill that is the equal for everybody from God from life so there's not too much
It deters the executed criminal from murdering again, though, doesn't it?
4B$ to kill 13 people … Seriously US you don't know how to spend your money properly
1B$ was just the killing cost what are you giving them melted gold ? Diamonds? That's stupid a shooting squad costs what 30k$
I hate the argument that the death penalty is not a deterrent. For one, it's not a deterrent because we are doing it wrong. Pay per view public execution. It's a deterrent in China and Saudi Arabia because it's public. And two, it's not supposed to be a deterrent anyway, it's supposed to be punishment.
How do I join a fire ing squad??
Why do we have to kill people to show people that killing people is wrong?
My only problem with capital punishment is when innocent people are accused and framed.
I don't think California is the best example… perhaps Texas would be a better example because, on the state level, they seem to have their finances sorted out whereas California constantly overspends on everything and the state is drowning in public debt.
If I was going to be executed I wouldn't be hungry at all
I'd Rather see them die
State sanctioned (or any) murder is just plain wrong! I agree, phsycos need to be removed from society permanently, but two (social) wrongs don't make a right. Murder is murder, and it's just plain sick!! Let the rightfully convicted deal with each other behind bars, let them 'work it out' IMHO
And this is why Capital Punishment is illegal in most 1st world countries >.>
0:30 I think that the guy in the officers uniform might be Forest gump or the guy who voices Woody in toy story
If I had to choose one I'd do firing squad. Fuck the other ones they sound scary lol
cant they just put em to sleep and strap their head to a cattle bolt gun ? and then execute ? why inventing drugs while u can use a bullet to a head ?
rip Tay K
I may be 14 I agree with the death penalty but I hate the fact there is no guaranteed that person did anything you could put an innocent person to deaths so it’s pretty hard topic
Firing Squad is the most humane! It's a good way to get rid of these sick fucks, liberals with all their polices make it hard to execute murders and child killers! That's the only reason why it's so expensive, the government in California is insane.
let’s go back to hanging people!
Bullets and rope are cheaper than drugs. Instead of having them wait and you know without a doute they are guilty, right after the sentence just perform the execution. Just like the old days. That should strike fear into those who might commit a crime.
Capital punishment is Tyranny of government
