It's funny that firing squads and botched lethal injections come up. I was just reading these Ann Coulter articles from last May:

Myself, I seriously support the return of public hangings. It was a preferred form of execution for centuries, so it's provably effective. Further, it's good for the community to witness the termination of evil citizenry; it's a deterrent and watching justice carried out has a certain "feel good" vibe about it. Also, it's cost effective. It requires no power source, aside from gravity and a slight bit of elbow grease. Plus you can get hundreds of hangings out of a single length of rope.

Not sure how I feel about "public hangings" per say but, would love to see executions as pay per view....lol. Could help greatly to offset taxpayer costs, & a portion of the profits could go to the victims families. Im sure plenty would pay to see it.

I'm hesitant to involve money, Viper. Too much room for corruption. Corruption is inevitable, and flourishes well enough on it's own. No need to inadvertently encourage it.

I can foresee wrongful arrests and hurried trials that don't seek justice, in order to maximize on the new execution industry.

It's best to keep the public executions free. Besides, one of the selling points of hanging is how cheap and reusable the rope is.

I hear ya. The prison industry rakes in the money already. Im sure there is plenty of corruption. Seems anywhere big money is involved, corruption exists.
