      That seems like a good idea. If they really want to execute someone, make the official of the state shoot them on video. I’m guessing capital punishment would be almost zero within 10 years, because nobody wants to be seen as a cold-blooded killer, especially when they know that people could review the video.

      I agree. I’m against the death penalty but find it odd people expect it to be “painless” and beautiful.

      You’re killing someone. It sucks. Stop trying to pretend it’s not a brutal senseless act.

          I doubt running a crane or gantry for an hour costs very much. You could add guide rails, á la guillotine.

            I mean you need to build one of these things everywhere you execute people… And they need to operate every time you execute someone.

            At that point just use a guillotine.

            Youd need to design a pretty good fall room that can handle frequent dropping and cleanup is a mix of dust, rubble and human body

            The bullet is better. Though guillotine work as well and had style points.

              Maybe something like the trash compactor from Star Wars but with a rocket sled acceleration of one of the walls?

          The thing about a bullet, is someone has to shoot it. The crane could be set on a timer, so nobody has to feel guilty for pulling the trigger.

            That’s a thought. 🙂

            Guilt for administering a death has been thought of before; that’s part of the reason why there’s a firing ‘squad’. You have however many people with lethal rounds, and however many people with dummy/blank rounds, so nobody knows for sure whose bullets were live & killed him.
