North Korean anti-aircraft weapons have obviously gotten more accurate in recent years.

Fake story.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

On the chance that it's true, Kim was far more humane than the The Cruel and Unusual Execution of Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma. Old Clay got better than he deserved but it puts on display what a shit show American executions have become.Grandpa's Spells wrote:Fake story.

You are either ignorant on this subject or so disingenuous as to be beneath contempt.
American executions have become a shit show because anti-death penalty fanatics have intentionally made it impossible to execute someone by means other than Rube Goldberg.
And the fuckers have done it on purpose.
So, using the FUBAR nature of American executions as some kind of argument against execution is really beneath contempt.
Just more of the meta and manipulative FALSE BUT TRUE! bullshit that passes for discourse in 2016.

Perhaps you missed, "Old Clay got better than he deserved" despite the FUBAR execution. My main point was that we mock that vile little NK bastard while the execution he delivered was, in fact, more competent and humane than our sophisticated and humane method. It's an irony worth noting.DrDonkeyLove wrote:On the chance that it's true, Kim was far more humane than the The Cruel and Unusual Execution of Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma.

The fact that anti death penalty advocates make executions less humane is another fun irony.

I sense avoidance and reverse engineering.
Are you pro or anti- death penalty?

Anti-death penalty. I don't believe the system is competent enough to avoid convicting and executing the innocent - most specifically poor innocents.bennyonesix wrote:I sense avoidance and reverse engineering.

However, when it's a despicable and clearly guilty individual like Mr. Lockett and the other evil bastard in the article, I like the idea of ridding the earth of them.
A 9mm to the brain stem (or an NK anti-aircraft gun) would work every time and be much cheaper and more humane than the Rube Goldberg devices we're using.
