I would like to hear his last words and maybe say something to him; however, I don't think I'd want to pull the switch and I know for a fact that I wouldn't want to do the injection myself.

Sure, why not. He stabbed me 15 times and I lived, I'll "stab" him once and he wont...

 

:lol:

I'd want to be there and have a few last words for him that, as MBCW said, wouldn't be able to be shared on here. You can mess with me, but any time you mess with the lives of my children, that's a whole nother story.

 

Anyone sick and demented enough to stab a child to death really doesn't deserve to live and I'd want to be the one who took his life away.

The execution is by legal injection.

 

Would you like to actually inject him? That'd be much different than simply flipping a switch...

 

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

The state has decommissioned the electric chair except for those whose capital crimes were committed prior to March 31, 1998 and choose to die by electrocution rather than the alternative of lethal injection.

That's not what I meant.

You know, when I read all the words in your post instead of just some of them, my reply doesn't make sense. :lol:

I don't know how I could objectively answer this one. I can't even imagine being in that position.

My first thought is that I'd be so angry that I'd want to be there. However, I'd be so overcome with sadness it may outweigh my anger, especially since so much time has gone by...

I said yes because I'd want the guy to suffer the way I had been suffering. I'd even want to flip the switch on the chair or inject the needle into the vein.

I voted yes to be there but this man committed a deadly sin multiple times and has repented. He has asked that they kill him so I dont know how much pleasure you can get from beign there to witness it to be quite honest. I think being there just as a tribute to your fallen family members is why I would go.

Good point. After thinking about it, I'd probably have to agree with your post.

No chance. Nothing in it for me. No satisfaction gained.

Maybe the healing starts if you can forgive the condemned before he dies.

I said no, but I would like to have some "final words" with the person before they pushed the button

Not sure what it says about me but no chance I could ever forgive someone if that did this to my family.
