Where you going to say "emotionally"? "intellectually"?

No they meant secually

@E Van In the state of Utah that is sometimes still done.

Simple yet profound.
It forces people to think about their decision before they make it because it's a final decision.
That's quite terrible what they did to that teenager, especially considering they did not have enough evidence to convict him to begin with and that he obviously had a crooked attorney that did nothing to help him. Heart breaking Shameful.

At the time firing squad was employed in my country, the person to be executed was usually shot by a specified beachside, by a squad selected from different regions from the country,so there's no clean up after. Aim was set to the chest or so, with a coupe de gras to the head.
Been the most simple and effective method I've seen so far.

The current most painless execution is firing squad, but the most humane and painless is death by nitrogen hypoxia. Think of the gas chambers but no choking or discomfort, you experience a type of high and then slowly pass out, and die in peace. They can turn it off and you'll regain consciousness and live if you've been pardoned, but you may have brain damage depending on how long you were in there. Lethal injection has to be one of the most inhumane and painful ways of execution in the US currently. The chair is preferable over it.
Guiotine or sometin is one of the best ways
It wouldn't be if they used the right drugs. No need for multiple drugs, just one. Fentanyl or carfentanyl. That's all you need and it's completely painless and works every time if the dose is right.
@@dumbsharkyboii6485 nope, the guillotine is not the best. If it is botched than you'll have a large laceration on your neck.

I also believe firing squad is the most effective and simple of it all. Back when my country had the death penalty, it was the only method used.
The most humane and satisfying way is clearly machete hacking

Burst fire every time?
@@kickadick102 Have a second gun ready. If it does the same, at the very least, the prisoner shouldn't have suffered actual physical pain, though he probably would have some mental trauma.
A fire squad is even better.
unfair on the guards to ask them to do it. Besides it gets messy and no one wants to clean up after that
@@Combatwombat-sn7ng They could easily build a type of room suited for their needs that would make cleaning easier.
the death penalty should be exclusive for repeat rapists and child molestors, sadly they get quite minor sentences
the rest should just get life in prison.
@@VirtualVoyager98 the way that I see it is odd because I don't believe in it but I do depending on the case. For example, say someone brutally murdered a child and planned it out, I personally believe those types of people deserve it.
@@su1250 the problem with the death penalty is not how harsh it is, itâs that thereâs 100% a few in death row who didnât do what they are serving for
And serial killers
no serial killers should get it too i dont get why people only talk about rapists like bro excuse me serial killers?????
Ah yes serial killers only get life in prison
I'm so glad the Lockett family was able to sue, and they were able to say it fell short of human standards.
I just can't believe how horrifying executions can be when they go horribly wrong! It makes it all the more heartbreaking when the convict is innocent. Now I know why a lot of people wanted the death penalty to be abolished. It really CAN be cruel and unusual punishment! đ°
@Christopher Carranza I mean it depends if someone enjoys killing people and can get used to the food theres no real way to punish someone life in prison they got nothing to lose if they are a big guy not much you CAN do. I think if someones gone on a killing spree and its clearly publicly documented cops should just gun the guy down on the spot to save resources (if they are crazy and got to that point well then its a mercy)
@Christopher Carranza Some people have actually enjoyed decent lives in prison. Some of which were serial killers. Nothing is ever for sure.
Death penalty should be a thing for eternity
It's not usual! Its unusual!
But like only 4% of death row convicts are innocent and the death penalty in U.S is illegal in a lot of states now and besides the 96% of guilty victims deserve the death penalty because they hurt families and people
I remember hearing that after surviving the electric chair one death row inmate suddenly had a craving for cold peanut butter. Interesting.
I suspect it has to do with all of that electric current coursing thru his brain.
@@Steve-wo7gt---possibly
And when the space-time continuum is disrupted, you crave chocolate milk.
oui
Reporter:I can't belive you survived the electric chair! What do you have to day for yourself?
Inmate:I want cold peanut butter đ„
Am I the only one who remembers the movie The Green Mile where the guard didnât wet the sponge? Iâm not entirely for or against the death penalty itself, but the electric chair is way to harsh of a method, especially when we have other ways that usually work fine and donât torture the person.
I know right because I would rather die instantly than die slowly with so much pain
Oh yeah, I remember that movie. That scene was horrific. I agree, the electric chair is too harsh...
Some people need to fill pain, thatâs what poor people experienced in a hand of him or her.
Oh i dont know, there are aome "people" out there that deserve the slowest most painful execution ever
My Uncle Was A Guard In That Prison When That Happened, He Seen The Whole Thing
I don't care if they suffer as long as they were guilty. My problem with the death penalty is that innocent people find themselves sentenced to death. It should be reserved for cases where there was no shred of doubt.
THIS.
I think that's reasonable.
But some idiots in this world actually think that death sentence should not exist regardless of the crime, what do you say about them thou, I think their moral compass malfunctioned due to a birth defect or something, even my fav atheist Alex o conner and Steven from rationality rules don't think the this should exist, pretty sad but ig opinions
@@negaro9113 Some people clearly deserve to lose their lives. The problem is we're using it too broadly, sometimes in circumstantial cases. We need to be 100% sure the person did this. Any tiny little doubt should knock the sentence down to life without parole. At least the innocent have a fighting chance to clear their name and maybe get out. Can't get out of being dead.
true, like the 15/17-year-old boy; they didn't even have enough evidence for a life sentence leave alone an execution. But if the person is really guilty, like evil serial killers/rapists/murderers, then i don't care how the execution is done

Guillotines are also known to have failed at some executions. In one case 3 times in a row. ;)
Also when they figured out they can not decapitate children because they where moving to much to place their head in the guillotine, they just decided to cut them in 4 with a saw instead. The noble french revolution...
oh my word
This is too savage...
Nice
The guillotine blade would often dull after several executions. So they would just lob the blade at the prisoner until they were decapitated. Also prisoners would fight for the first execution due to the blade dulling after executions
Can I get a source in the child executions?
I want to send it to a friend
Whatâs interesting about Lockettâs case: Johnny Zellmer, the doctor who messed up, broke the oath-is still practicing. I have no clue how this works
i mean its kind of like politicians, their supposed to uphold the constitution and be representatives of their constituents
There's no punishment for breaking the oath. It could lead to charges of medical malpractice, but that's only if the case is solid enough.
@@SlyFan-mp8dc thatâs only because no such law exists, thatâs why thereâs no punishment. Why do they give the oath in the first place then?
To me, a doctor who sworn not to harm and harmed is like a soldier who sworn to defend and switched sides.
@@kilovolt2494 Despite being just a formal gesture, those in the medical field take it very seriously. They know that their work puts other people's life in their hands.

The two electronic chair stories instantly reminded me of the film by Stephan Spielberg "The Green Mile" where the French guy gets fried after Percy purposely doesn't wet the sponge. I wonder how many times this has happened. Or if Spielberg read a story of one of the men in this video and that's how he came up with the idea. What is described in this video is exactly what happens in The Green Mile. Face eyes and mouth with flames coming out of them and the terrible stench of burning hum flesh. It essentially cooks your entire body from within. Imagine the pain as your brain fries and other organs. Another horrific way of execution. Even when it works it's must be painful.
that scene haunted me as a kid for a very long time. can't imagine going through that
I think the electric chair rocks !
A man survived the first round of electric chair and said it tasted like cold peanut butter
What's an electronic chair?
And Spielberg had nothing to do with that movie.
I know there are some criminals out there who are truly evil but No way would I wanna be a witness to any of this

@Joseph Bleifus itâs truly mind blowing youd want to see someone die in a torturous way. No matter who they are.
@@hazel9451 I would. Arsonists deserve it the worst in my opinion
I forget which one. but there was one case where the inmate survived the execution, and when authorities wanted to set a new date for a second attempt to take his life, his lawyers argued that he had already been executed, and that executing him again would be double jeopardy.
An ambitious argument, to say the least.
The first use of the electric chair actually led to the procedure of shaving an inmateâs head before theyâre executed in it. When it was used on the inmate, his hair caught fire, his skin started to char, and he burned to death while simultaneously being electrocuted to death.
Fun Fact: People who were executed by guillotine fought to be first because the blade gets dull after each use and on later people might not even chop their heads completely off and they would experience immense pain and would not be killed
Y'all missed Wenseslao Moguel. Survived 9 gunshots including one to the head from a firing squad. Look it up

The Good Wife discussed this in an episode.
If carrying out an execution is painful to the convict to a considerable degree, it can be considered cruel and unusual punishment - which is a violation of the 8th Amendment.
Even convicts have rights!
The convicts victims did as well. Before being horribly tortured, mutilated and murdered.
@@SangoProductions213 Yes, they did. But should society lower themselves to the convict's level then? Why is life in prison, without chance of ever coming back to society not enough? So many innocent people have received the death sentence. This is why you won't find this in Europe anymore. The USA is really behind in this.
@@HaagseDannyKalf Why is living on the victim's family's dime sufficient?
Don't get me wrong. The pompous government's obsession with "pretty" executions rather than cost effective ... or even simply reliable executions is a problem.
But its a tangential problem.
@@SangoProductions213 Because history has shown there is always a chance that the convicted is in fact not guilty, or that there were certain circumstances which should have been taken into account during the trial (such as the suspect having a mental illness). So many people have been executed, only to be shown innocent later when it was too late. Also, even the most evil person is still a human being. Locking such a person away for life, without a chance to come out of prison, still serves the purpose of removing that person from society. The death penalty also doesn't have the intended effect of deterring people from committing crimes. Executing people simply doesn't make sense. It's a thing of the past.
The chances of being murdered in America are higher than other countries which don't have the death penalty. This shows that it doesn't work. It's supposed to be a deterrent which is a very old fashioned idea to my mind.
All this could be avoided if executions were carried out with buckshot to the back of the head (100% success rate)
and cheapest opition
Except there truly are innocent people on death row.. how would you ensure the person whoâs bring executed is truly guilty ? Like the guy who was supposed to be hung
@@Liquethemodel not even part of the question but sure
@@Liquethemodel the same way you confirm only guilty people are arrested.
Problem with that is it can get messy, and some families ACTUALLY still care for their family members enough to give them a proper burial. No one who used to love you or still loves you wants to see you headless, that's just common sense man.
A property set up firing squad, aimed by machine, all but eliminates the cruelty part of an execution. Even if one gun fails, the others won't.
How are you aloud to send someone to death when they are 15 and there is very little evidence against him?

Being an Electrician, I've had 3 bad shocks. One was 270 v, another 220 v, and the last one was 120v.
I survived, because I learned how to protect my self from dying by electrocuted.
The simple lessons is to work with one hand.
As long as the current doesn't go threw your heart you will survive.
Foreinstance it my left hand touched a hot conductor and my right hand was grounded, then current would pass threw my heart.
Potentiometer scars on left hand. Attempting to fine tune my ham radio. A real boat anchor ... Had one arm free, experienced exactly what you are describing. Not fun, the zap was memorable.
@@patsulek1570 You probably got a worse shock then I did.
My 220 v. Shock was the weirdest. I was re-wiring a panel box in a gas station. We were converting the gas stations from a repair garage to a stop & go store.
There was a lose wire in the panel box. I grabbed the wire and was looking for the breaker it belonged to.
When I came to the breaker, my hand became a conductor. I could feel the electricity going over my hand.
I is right when they say electricity travels over the wires and not threw the wire.
I was not shocked. I actually laughed, because I couldn't pull my hand away. I remembered my training. I only used one hand in the panel.
I took my free hand, and chopped at the hand on the conductor. It fell away from the panel, and I was safe.
If I had touched the grounded panel, then I would be dead.
This was my first job as an Electrician, and I was working for a contractor as the only Electrician.
The gas station was operating while I was rewiring the panel.
After I was freed from the electrical current, I laughed, and continued working.
I realize that I could have been killed, but I needed to become an electrician more then my fear of dying.
I was 40 years old trying to transfer from being a truck driver to an electrician. After 2 back surgeries, I had to change professions.
That was 30 years ago and I retired as an Electrician.
Is a bullet to the head really that in humane? Like I legit donât know it just seems easier for everybody

Just look at how complicated is the moral law rule itself. Capital punishments were different these days, but even then survival instinct even when mostly killed in these situations might still trigger in defiance.

It appears that prisons are a law unto themselves when conducting executions and that it takes exceptional circumstances for prisons to call them off. The quote from the Supreme Court really spells out the punitive philosophy behind them.
The fact that some doctors don't participate in lethal injections because it contravenes the Hippocratic Oath leaves the procedure way open to botching if it is performed by laypeople. Joseph Wood gasping for 2 hours on the gurney in Arizona - - it doesn't get worse than that.
But yet some MDs, especially those of, as one Archibald Bunker of 704 Hauser St, Queens, NY would put it, "Dat TRIBE, dere...", who express misgivings at participating in a lawful execution have no qualms about ending the lives of the unborn because, unfortunately, that too, is perfectly LEGAL...and for them, PROFITABLE.
@Douglas Self and? The pro life also tend to be pro death penalty like yourself, so what is your point, that the other side is a equally hypocritical? You are a dunce.
They're not exactly laypeople. They're generally trained to do their tasks (e.g. inserting IVs).
Prisons aren't a law - they're a business, at least in the US. The proprietors of prisons expect returns on their investment, and inmates will get traded back and forth depending on supply and demand. Not enough inmates to go around? Just lobby the local constabularies to arrest more people instead of letting them go.
@@Zorothegallade-gg7zg wouldn't public prisons be more answerable to the law than private prisons? They need a judge to sign the death warrant. To me it's more troubling that judges and prosecutors are elected officials and can't administer the law without political pressure. The fact that incarceration is an industry in itself is also unsettling.
It's quite a rarity that the 'last words' of the prisoner involve professions of innocence. Eh, given they've nothing to lose, i would be rather inclined to believe them.

This video outlines a small aspect of what is wrong with the death penalty. It doesnât deter crime, itâs costly on taxpayers. The legal system in the US is flawed.
Nobody cares about deterrence, everyone is free to make the same mistakes and pay the same price if that's what they want. It's about justice and making sure they never offend again.
@@amg863 prison isnât for punishment itâs to keep civilians safe.... death penalty is completely pointless, life in prison does the same thing
Fun fact: itâs NEVER a medical professional giving the doses for lethal injection. That would go against their oath to âdo no harmâ. Thatâs why itâs botched sometimes. That and the veins collapsing due to a lot of drug use among prisoners.
It is true, the anticipation of death is far more horrifying than the actual death itself.
The video convinced me that we should end the death penalty. Even execution methods said to be quick and painless can turn long and agonizing, and you might not even have the right person. In a matter of life and death there should be no room for error.
4:24 - Yes, I learned in the applicable The Good Wife episode, oftentimes, a doctor or nurse is not involved in an execution because it violates the Hippocratic oath.

When you get your had cut off by the gillotine you still live for like 5-20 seconds, so you feel an "pain so bad you can't describe it". I think that's why they thought it was barbarian. Just a guess

I just cannot understand why executions in the US are so barbaric. I have had several operations under general anaesthetic, I was given a painless injection, and 3 seconds later I was fast asleep. They could have sawn me in half with a rusty saw, I wouldn't feel a thing.
I think that for the lethal injection they shouldnât use one shot for all three they should make sure the person is under anesthetic and use a shot for that first
