   What about the fate of a man who kills 5 women and children during a botched bank robbery where he is captured at the scene. Presumably, then, you feel comfortable enough to execute him?

Here’s a sword - are you willing to personally execute him yourself? No, it’s not a facetious question.

That may present a problem, but not because of a lack of volunteers. Didn’t several hundred members of our civilized and Christian nation sign up to help execute Gary Gilmore?

I just envisioned a new cash source for the government! Selling a raffle to see who gets to execute someone! Or better yet, an auction!
