In the US there is some debate about the effectiveness of lethal injection to execute death row inmates.

Personally i dont get it. Hundreds of animals are euthanized everyday by vets across the country. They just go to sleep.

Every so often you hear about the celeb drug overdoes (not to mention the unknown neighborhood junkie)....they too just go to sleep.

So what exactly is the problem? I dont know.

But I offer to you this alternative.

Why use a simple guillotine when you can give someone wheelbarrows full of money to do the same thing in a much more complicated way?


;Dons tinfoil hat;

This is clearly an early test for government designed pacification robots, that will keep the citizens under control by ripping the head off from anyone who mistakenly decides to publicly protest against their rightful elected* overlords.



*Elections to be removed as needless waste of resources at an undetermined future date, when the robots are proven to be sufficiently effective at urban pacification.

PS. In before a movie about a robot execution chair that gets possessed by the soul of a death row inmate and goes on a rampage.

Anesthetics, put them to sleep and stop blood flowing to the brain, it will do. In other words, choke them to death in sleep.

I have speculated about 16 ton falling on the head, and effectivelly turning the brain to mush, but it is too graphic for general audience.

Overdoes of morphine or heroin will do.

Why used exotic drug combos?

Welp, they can go "old-fashioned".

Actually, they are going old-fashioned: Revive Old Sparky

I'd suggest all globally condemned criminals be sent to sent to Brussels where they be used to conduct an audit of the EU.

The simple madness of those huge piles of paperwork should drive their brains to shut down.

Yep, here's the test model.

The heat suction system didnt work out as well though. Straight

The problem is that drugs used in the procedure are manufactured in the (soon to be former) EU. About ten tears ago, they suddenly found 'morality' and banned the export of said drugs.

Now, we have a chronic shortage.

Yes, subs have an airlock of sorts. They have two escape trunks that have an upper (outer) and lower hatch. You can open the upper hatch from the safety of the people tube and let the ocean flood the trunk.

But, subs have something better, a torpedo tube.

Normally, when a torpedo is launched from the tube, the tube is flooded and high pressure air (a few thousand pounds of pressure) is used to impulse the weapon out.

Image what that may do to a body. If they do survive the impulse, they are still several hundred feet under water.

Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.

TBH, I don't know.

Would be interesting to find out what would happen. I just kind of took the word of a few torpedomen I knew in the Navy that it would not be a pleasant experience.
