Do you think the 'Electric Chair' should be brought back as punishment for criminals?

Bullets used to be cheaper. Depends upon the crime, the punishment should fit the crime. We can be much more creative than "Ol Sparky"

hmm maybe, how about using it on corporate criminals? Directors and CEOs of big banks and corporations who waste their stock holders' money, bankrupt people and do so much harm in the world, e.g. benefitting from wars like Halliburton and Lockheed. People who don't care if their trusting customers or employees sleep under the bridge, as long as they profit themselves.

Those people influence the world economy, have contacts to the world bank and the IMF and have their hands in, not to say determine international politics.

Why not put them on the electric chair? I would pay to watch.

No it is to controversial and causes even more delays than execution by lethal injection. the sentence is delayed far to long now, i have watched an execution by electric chair and the pain inflicted goes far beyond cruel and unusual punishment as forbidden by the Bill of rights.

The sentence for murder no matter how heinous is the death penalty and not torture before the death occurs. When a persons eyes pop out there bones break from the pressure exerted by themselves when the electrical charge is introduced is not part of the sentence.~

It should be an option in particularly nasty psycho-killer cases. The problem we have as a society now is that we are tending to put the rights of the criminal WAAAAY above the rights of the victim. The victim can be stomped, beaten, ripped to pieces and even killed, but that's OK. The criminal has a right to do that, but society does not have the right to eliminate from society these animalistic beasts who have no redeeming social value whatsoever.

Fry them within 30 days .

We still have Ol' sparky here in Florida.

I think its pretty horrific but then Ted Bundy torturing and killing women was horrific too. I hope it was his favorite chair.

No instead we can make them work hard for the affected family or person or take away the person s properties and give it to the affected.

I prefer a firing squad with low caliber guns so the person does not die after the first shot.

No, just do what the chinese do, parade them in the street then shoot them, its much easier than all the hoops society has to jump through to get bad people dead.

No. Barbaric, inhumane and no better than the person who committed the crime in the first place.

No, if we use anything other than lethal injection it should be the firing squad. It's cheaper, fast and effective.
