I bring this up since we're leaving the European Union (Brexit) which is something that forbids capital punishment under human rights laws governed by the EU. This got me thinking, what kind of methods would be used. A majority of us want the DP back since murderers are getting off so easily now and get to live life in prisons that are more like hotels. I think we need to go harsher on criminals. As far as I know the modern method was hanging. It had a good deterrent effect, considering that crimes permitting the death penalty skyrocketed right after the death penalty was abolished in the 1960's.
US seems to mostly use lethal injection now, but those drugs are very expensive, all so the condemned gets to fall asleep in bliss and there's no pain for even a fraction of a second.
I would like to see the death penalty for the Lee Rigby killer, public place bombers/shooters, serial killers/1st degree murder, child killers, and terrorists.
