One of my best friends was killed by a single blow to the head,evulsed his vertibral artery,he was dead before he hit the ground.

Hanging is stil an option in New Hampshire if lethal injection cannot be given and in Washington, an inmate can request death by hanging over lethal injection.

I just did a quick search and hanging is still an option in Washington and New Hampshire. In Washington, the condemned have the right to choose. In New Hampshire it is only used when lethal injection is not a viable option.

I remember reading somewhere that there is a mathmatical formula used to determine the correct length of rope to be used for a standard gallows, taking into account height and weight among other factors, so that the death is as instant and painless as possible.

this is an outrage!!! why would anybody , for any reason feel bad for a guy that got caught red handed molesting a young child. he did what people for thousands of years have done and that is pertecting himself and his family. its sad that the world has come to question ones right to defend themselves and there family. personally i think this is great that he died and it cut out all the red tape . i think that if people had more to worry about than our joke of criminal justice system that crimes may decrease. if the man would not have died at the scene he may have got a life sentance which is not life, just 25 years we being tax paying citizens would be making sure he got 3 meals a day, a bed and a roof over his head. but does he deserve it? the answer is no he deserves what he got along with all the other rapists, murders, molesters, child abusers, the list goes on. our country being the USA is a weak, weak country when it comes to punishing those that have broken the law. death row is a joke , as soon as found guilty they should exicute with in minutes. this sounds harsh i know but criminals forfit there rights when the commit a crime like this. i have several friends from nigeria at work and they say that if a person is caught steeling that they hope the police find them before the street vendors do because even theft is enough that towns people rise up and chase the criminal and if they catch him that the most common punishment is to be stuffed inside car tires, soaked in gas and lit on fire alive. and this is just for stealing. but i bet the next guy thinks twice. maybe i have a crazy harsh opinion but i feel that america treats criminals way better than they should be. sit down and add up how much money is spent in one year in the usa to house and feed inmates and pay the guards, fix the buildings all the things it takes to keep all of our beloved crimanals alive and then see how long of not paying that would make our national debt vanish. hate is a terrible thing , i know this but is believing that people who commit terrible crimes deserve to die for what they have done considered hate? i think not. i think that people all over the world have grown weak with emotion about death as a punishment. the romans lasted about 1000 years and i assure you they punished to the fullest. this is just one small case of a man acting by instinct to pertect his family and he will most likely be the one punished for it. its a shame it really is.

True, is an actual artform of sorts,the noose has to be done correctally,the knot needs to be placed perfectally on the C2 spinal verterbra,this way it transects the spinal cord,death is painless.the body will twitch around for a few mins,but the victim has no knowledge of it.

What I would like for you to explain, is how you made that leap from the "Bull Barrel", to "instant and painless as possible" ?

I live 1 block from the Davie Rodeo Grounds; I will never see bullriding the same again. You have scared me for life.

But if that (dad catching a molester in the act) is indeed what happened, I completely understand what the father did.

Too bad a guy like that was not around when Jerry Sandusky "mentored" his first boy. Talk about a calculating predator. Every time I see him on the news, and read the recaps of another day's sickening testimony, I think up new tortures for him...

do we have to bring sanduskey into this subject lol i live 30 min from him and its been a 3 ring circus up here with his trial going on. poor jopa joe paterno was dragged into that mess but thats a whole new subject. carry one guys lol

Not all criminals deserve torture over death.
