Cruel and Unusual

Warning: this video is unpleasant. I wouldn’t say horrific, but watching it was certainly not the brightest moment of my day.

Though this may be one of the less objectionable applications of the death penalty, we must always remember that it is always a fundamentally unacceptable punishment. It still says murder is okay, as long as the victim is a bad guy. And even despite his past actions and I’m sure even current thoughts, this man being hanged is still — if for that moment — a helpless 69-year-old man.
