Why has mankind abandoned the most efficient and humane method of capital punishment yet devised and moved towards methods that are exponentially more expensive and less reliable?

>Guillotine
>Humane
Pick one.

Because it was messy, and your average citizen measures how "humane" something is by how clean it is.

This, more or less. The humane part is more about how graphic it is. Granted, it may have something to do with the psychological impact of knowing you'll have your head chopped off, as opposed to being sedated and poisoned.

It's no bullshit.

More human than slowly being cooked from the inside with electricity or chemicals.

Visuals.

It's much more humane than lethal injection or gas chambers or even hanging. The only thing that would rival it would be a firing squad but that has the potential to be botched.

Im not sure the psychological impact would be that much different on the subject to be executed. With both methods, whether it be a needle stuck into your arm or your head locked into a guillotine, you know that your death is imminent.

because the decapitated heads stay alive for a couple seconds.

Executioners have testified that the eyes and the mouth keep on moving consciously.

>With both methods, whether it be a needle stuck into your arm or your head locked into a guillotine, you know that your death is imminent.

Unless you're dick cheney, then your body phases out of this reality and returns back to the Necron masters to be repaired.

Yea there are webms of eyes following the sword that decapitated the head, but they just look and feel like they are being rapidly choked out and going to sleep because they are basically suffocating and the nerves were severed so fast they don't have time to register pain especially if they have a hood on.

>Humane

fuck you and your weak words, little man. no one needs to be humane nature doesn't like it that way.

The most humane/least messy method of execution is an exit bag

You literally just fall asleep from lack of oxygen and then die. It's not much different than chopping off the head, but avoids the whole being conscious of it part.

No real mess to clean up, either.

>Why has mankind abandoned the most efficient and humane method of capital punishment yet devised and moved towards methods that are exponentially more expensive and less reliable?

Good question.

>It was during the Red Terror that the Cheka, hoping to avoid the bloody aftermath of having half-dead victims writhing on the floor, developed a technique for execution known later by the German words "Nackenschuss" or "Genickschuss", a shot to the nape of the neck, which caused minimal blood loss and instant death. The victim's head was bent forward, and the executioner fired slightly downward at point blank range. This had become the standard method used later by the NKVD to liquidate Joseph Stalin's purge victims and others.

I believe lethal injections after being sedated properly is much more humane than a huge blade cutting off your head which causes a lot of mess and not to mention the the body and the decapitated head is alive for a few seconds, which is certainly disturbing and not exactly "humane".
I'm all for lynching niggers though

>but avoids the whole being conscious of it part.
Yea because its harder to notice a plastic bag wrapped around your head than a giant knife falling on the back of your head.

Also exit bags are harder to do right and most people just end up retarded which is fitting enough because they are too stupid to want to die so soon.

Men have dominion over animals. There is no humane way to murder a human. We are not monkeys. The rh factor should not stand for rhesus monkey. But it does. Why do you make retarded threads?

...

IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES

The problem with that poo is that often sedation doesnt work because the convicted is given not the right amount of dosage.

So often people suffer excruciating pain while being poisoned.

You know for a Fin, you're alright.

>yfw Belarus still execute people that way

Really causes my neural cells to depolarize by opening gated channels in the membrane and passively diffusing potassium ions out of the cytoplasm down its concentration gradient leading to a sequence of action potentials to stimulate in accord with long term potentiation pathways developed through the release of seratonin at key moments of sensory input.

AHH AHH AHH AHH

Just fuck no this is not medieval times. I know you fuckers want to harvest body parts, but no shillary we do not "roll that way".

I know you shills have a hard on for the evil queen that chops off heads but you see how well that is working out with ISIS right? Yeah, no they are a few months away from getting shit kicked to wonderland.

having your head cut off is better than having your heart stop and just fading away.

i meant to green text

It's gory. Honestly, capital punishement should just be a barbituate/opioid overdose. The three drugs used in lethal injection today (sodium pentathal to knock you out, pancouronium bromide to stop lung function, and a super dose of potassium chloride to stop your heart) isn't necessary, especially when you consider that the first drug is very short lasting and the person being executed could wake up before the other drugs killing him. Just give 10x the dose of the first drug and be done with it.

>ARD

I guess animals suffer the least when have throat cut [shuffles to look for an appropriate article] and humans are animals so....

Imagine being able to see that live?Fuck.

For horrible crimes with overwhelming evidence against the convict in question there should be a punishment of ripping apart bits of your body with a rusty old saw, while inserting anal plugs covered in acid and with tiny nails. No mercy for degenerates.

The government uses habitual sudden increases in the purity of street heroin to passively cull the population already.

If you are getting an officially state sanctioned execution it is because they want you to suffer a little.

there was a time in this country, and many others, where it was literally what you did on a Friday night, like we go out to see a movie or some shit. imagine that

Such a good times

Yep, and hospice has taken over knocking off grandparents on medicare/medicaid, and those without insurance in need of transplants or cancer treatments. Hospice here runs on a timer three months and then the medicare wants to know why you are not dead. Very sad actually since hospice was created to care for the dying, and not to starve/dehydrate them to death or overdoes them.

Hillary should be glad she is not on medicare and has cash because, with the previous thrombosis and dementia she would likely be referred to hospice and be a goner under their care.

It legitimately seems like the safest way to dispatch anyone. It's quick, cheap and impossible to botch. It's even more reliable than a bullet to the head, the only downside is the mess it must make.

> The last person to be executed in France was Hamida Djandoubi, who was executed by the guillotine on 10 September 1977.

> In 1996 in the US, Georgia State Representative Doug Teper unsuccessfully sponsored a bill to replace the state's electric chair with the guillotine.

> In recent years, a number of individuals have committed suicide by means of a guillotine they constructed themselves

>humane method
How about we take God's advice? Stonings are cheap and grant retribution to the victim's family and friends.

its also fun

>Im not sure the psychological impact would be that much different on the subject to be executed

I think he meant the executioner, then again there's always some sick fuck that would get a kick out of his gig.

>you live for a couple seconds after having your head cut off
>a gunshot to the head has the chance to not kill you
>you can feel being drugged with lethal injection and that can also be botched
>surely the electric chair is painful

wouldn't the best way to die be getting c4 strapped to your head and detonated? I would imagine that that is the only 100% surefire way to die without feeling pain.

>In recent years, a number of individuals have committed suicide by means of a guillotine they constructed themselves

Aren't white people awesome ?

>mess

You could easily improve it. Maybe a head holder and a strong vacuum, or just a glass chamber. Easily cleaned with some hot water.

Hypobaric chambers seem more humane and don't create such a mess. Just bliss until you pass out and die, though knowing you're about to die might create some panic, but there's no getting around that unless you make a death row inmate's prison cell a hypobaric chamber, don't tell them when they're going to die, and then wait until they fall asleep to execute them.

The guillotine was designed for the sole purpose of causing instant death with little room for human error, in a time when methods of execution were still largely influenced by social status and emotional satisfaction (cruel deaths to satisfy revenge). It was built to be humane.

Shut the fuck up autist

>(((appropriate article)))
That's called kosher slaughter or halal meat.

you might be "alive" after getting your head chopped off but you won't feel anything. It will probably be a microsecond of extreme pain (probably wont notice) and then just nothing.

>surely the electric chair is painful
It's not. The instant your brain gets an electric shock it shuts down.
Just like when people used to have electrotherapy treatment, it wasn't painful at all, you just go unconscious.

Make death row prisoners wear one of those Running Man collars and just have them randomly blow off their head sometime after being proven guilty or give them a trigger to activate it themselves.

For some reason, being marched to a guillotine and strapped down to a wooden plank so a machine can cleanly cut your head off seems a less humane than just kneeling down and getting it plopped off with a sword. Idk, it's hard to explain. Sword by the sword isn't trying to hide the fact that it's death. Guillotine tries to clean it up and make it more "socially acceptable". At least sandniggers are up front about the brutality.

What was the book that Focualt wrote about public executions in?

Don't worry, they're going to be making a real fucking big comeback real fucking soon.

*death by the sword

t.drunk guy

>The body rolls off into a coffin

Efficient.

Yeah, but executioners were subject to bribes to "miss" their mark and have to take a second or third swing. Rich people were able to afford this, and it was usually against some turd of a peasant that was subjected to this treatment, someone nobody would care about or speak out for. Well it turned out that peasants made up the majority of the population in France and they demanded "equality", a cancerous notion that has spread across the world. Nobody should be better than anyone else, blah blah blah, we see where that leads us. Anyway, the guillotine isn't bad, I guess.

Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, I haven't read it but it sounds interesting.

The thing about guillotine is that if you don't fall into shock when your head gets chopped off, you will live on for a few seconds. And these fews seconds are probably not pain-free.

There doesn't seem to be a single argument to describe this method as human with the current alternatives we developed.

>a cancerous notion that has spread across the world
equity =/= equality

>Humane

Chopping off heads, blood spurting out, mess everywhere >HUMANE

Plus, supposedly once your head gets chopped off clean by the guillotine, your head can still see and hear for like 7 minutes.

Because it's gory. But it is humane.

the most humane method would be carbon monoxide gassing, they wont feel a thing, only sleep.

>7 minutes.
Nope. Durations over 5 minutes of no oxygen will degenerate your brain so far the "you" part in your brain will probably cease to exist.

...

>your head can still see and hear for like 7 minutes.
It basically just depends on how long you can hold your breath without passing out.

this

if you really wanted humane execution you'd just shoot the prisoner in the back of the head with a .50 BMG - instant death. but as you say it's messy so it's not "humane"

the guillotine is not entirely humane because the person's brain still works for up to 20 seconds

Im not sure if this is trolling of if we're now in a genuine
>american education
thread

>Guillotine
>Less human than a single round to the back of the head

depends on the round

the most humane execution I've seen was that terrorist with a giant .50 cal gun mounted to the back of a toyota and they shot that prisoner in the head. he exploded instantly. his death was instant.

escape bag with helium or nitrogen

most humane way

Even a .22 hollowpoint at the correct distance is instant death when planted right into the skull.
That's not super thick bone and it only takes a bit of bullet shrapnel to bounce around to puree your grey matter.

At most it'd cost a dollar for a particularly powerful round, but really there's no reason not to just use 9mm

>Hamida Djandoubi
>A mudslime was the last to be executed in France

Who else here would personally prefer firing squad?

You forgot sexiest. The build-up as the blade falls, the sudden climax and eruption... magnificent.

This. Electrocution is fucking barbaric. Lethal injection can fail / result in misery.

Actually oxygen deprivation is the best method along this route. Just have someone breathe in a pure inert gas and they'll be unconscious in seconds with no discomfort.

2-3 seconds tops is nothing to worry about. Current execution methods are far worse.

why not upgrade to laser guillotines

might burn the tissue enough so you could avoid a bloody mess

Guillotine works
youtube.com/Cred Forumsypq3CqU0384

Well he was an algerian terrorist and rapist.

Overdosing people on opiates should be the most pain free and humane way.

people botch suicides all the time with 9mms and etcetera

have you ever watched ISIS executions? even when they're shooting them in the head in a "humane" manner, sometimes they have to shoot them twice.

That's why you need to know what you're doing

Dipshit that doesnt know how to hit their brainstem != An execution
A 9mm round to the apex posterior of the neck will kill you 100% of the time.
And even if it doesn't in 0.0001% of cases, a second 9mm round will.
It's hardly any different from the failure rates of current lethal execution.

OP is right. Being guillotined is a helluva lot better than being shot, poisoned or electrocuted.

Don't a shitload of end time prophecies state that someone will bring back execution by guillotine and they will be tied to the Anti-Christ?

kek confirmed demon lord

I'm sure they did because that's an extreme vague statement and fascination with the guillotine and death are easy to observe.

It's not hard to imagine someone trying to revive the guillotine.

Vive la France.

Pretty solid, desu

>Bring back guillotine
>Grease it with pork fat
>Kill muslims with it

It falls so slowly...

I have an answer for you. Two words:
Janitor's Union

Wouldn't helium be the most humane way to execute someone?

If the blade is positioned at the top of the neck, you'll sever the brainstem. This damages the reticular activating formation and causes instant unconsciousness.

Eyes continue to blink from sword decapitations because the cut is too low and the brain stem is intact. With a properly used guillotine, this can be avoided.

Same comedian and more relevant bit.

Ahem, *Yiddish* rather, in this context.

Djando Nuffin, sans doubte.

why waste helium on executions. just use a bullet.

IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES

you sure those aren't 7 seconds?

the body goes directly in a cofin and the head in a basket
you cant be more efficient than that

Sometimes I forget we were guillotining people, less than 40 yrs ago. That's really fucking brutal. We should do it again.

I gleaned it from ISIS, Saudi and other radical muslim videos in addition to cartel videos.

how about:
>general anesthesia
>harvest the healthy organs
>turn all the blood in blood pack
no waste

what's the success rate of the guillotine

When I was in High School our textbooks said that the guillotine was still being used in France. This was around 2005. Textbooks were obviously bit old.

I don't know let's try with him

only turks can survive without their head that long

I would think most of the blood would end up spurting against the blade that is now positioned between the neck and the empty space previously occupied by a head.

In short: an algerian.

We were at (((war))) mate.

>Lethal injection can fail / result in misery.

Only if you use the wrong drugs, as the US system does. If you use sodium pentobarbitone, death is instant and peaceful. But the makers of the drug refuse to give it to the US government anymore on moral grounds and so the government decided to experiment, literally, with other drugs. The results were catastrophic.

To messy, Liberals can't handle cleaning up the blood.

We are a weaker society today then back then.

Some people take fentanyl daily. Try and kill me with opiates I dare you.
