Defiant1 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 This all goes back to Carlin's statement about the death penalty, before we stick the needle into the guy's arm, we swab it... of course we wouldn't want them going to (wherever it is you go after you die) with an infection. The guy threw the hail mary with a second left to go in the fourth quarter, except for him there was pretty sudden death, minus the overtime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asclepius Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 This is as absurd as claiming you're too fat and that the IV attempt is cruel. If that person was having a heart attack and they tried multiple times to start the IV for the meds and the patient was saved then that would be okay. If you have to be stuck, however, multiple times to be executed then it is cruel. Come on, you're being executed because you showed no mercy for your victim(s). Frankly, I think that executions should happen more frequently for more types of crimes and I don't really care how cruel and/or inhumane the process is. Violently rape someone...death. Molest a child....death. Torture a civilian....death. The list goes on and on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B the EMT Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 A cross reference, here, to the NAEMT (National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians) stating an agency policy of not having EMT-Bs or EMT-Ps be involved with executions http://www.emtcity.com/index.php/topic/17744-news-feed-naemt-opposes-ems-participation-in-executions-jemscom/page__p__236734__hl__firing%20squad__fromsearch__1&#entry236734 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicKristina Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Either way, he's going to die. Maybe they can pre-dose him with epinephrine and benadryl? LMAO!!! That's a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenac Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Many years ago guy was sentenced to hanging. He ate himself fat so they could not hang him. Never understood just get a better rope and hang him. If his head popped off he would still be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 If his head popped off he would still be dead. Because his head "might be popped off his neck", he had a stay of execution under the grounds that it constituted "Cruel and Unusual Punishment". I don't know if he was executed, or if the case is still being heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
