I gotta say Im all for killing horrible people.However I still can't imagine being on the bed getting jammed and pricked..then be given time to go use the bathroom.Man can you imagine!What the hell is running through your head!

(edit to note:I am scared s***less of hospitals too.If a horror movie has a hospital I aint watching...and I really dont care about the people dying..just scary to try and put yourself there.)

Must have felt like cutting off a dog's tail an inch at a time. I would prefer the gas chamber, if offerred the choice.
Apparently, he was a good sport about it: "he was laughing and joking with the prison staff".  His reported last words were, "Yes, boy, I could sure go for some beef stew and a chicken bone."
He apparently killed his cellmate over a chess game.

The guy abducted, raped and stabbed a 14-year-old girl.  Personally, I could care less how humane his death sentence is.

You reap what you sow.  Karma's a b1tch and all that stuff.  :

Yep it is - that karma thing. Mr Broom had his 14 year old victim for two hours - abducting her on her way home (two girls she was with managed to escape his clutchs), raping her then stabbing her 7 times before she finally died.

The state had him for two hours - prodding him with a needle ... no rape - nada

Which circumstance is "Inhumane" is a matter of perspective, but I certainly don't think it was his circumstance that's the 'inhumane" one here.
