It wouldn't be hard to find a chemical or venom that could kill him, even if almost instantly, it is considered cruel though for his last moments [even if only a few seconds] to be in excruciating pain...

What we need is Jim Jones to come back from the grave and do a little recruiting... koolaid anyone?

LOL. Or rather they could fcuk up on a lap band or bariatric surgery--it's probably cheaper than to give him a lethal injection...

We should take him to a Golden Corral and see how long it takes him to eat himself to death.

The death penalty does make me kind of nervous, but I don't think that most of the complaints about it being cruel and unusual make much sense culturally and historically.

But I do wonder, are we kidding ourselves about putting animals "to sleep" being relatively painless or could lethal injection be done a whole lot more easily with other drugs.

How about deliberate morphine OD?
