I had major surgery a few years ago. They stretched me out on the operating table, injected me with stuff to put me to sleep and did the surgery. After coming out of that, I thought that's all they did to McVeigh. At least that's all he knew they did. How is that a fitting punishment for what he did? It's far too easy on the criminal. And yet, there are death penalty opponents who object to lethal injection, saying that there might be a chance that the coctail of drugs given don't sufficiently anesthetize the person so they feel pain. Go figure. ps - there is a recognized syndrome called anesthesia awareness, where the person having surgery is not sufficiently anesthatized, but cannot move or speak, but nevertheless feels unbearable pain. I'd prefer not to go through that experience. en.wikipedia.org

I agree. That's why I support death by firing squad using bb guns. With luck it will take a week and several thousand rounds. Another version for rapist's would be clamping down on the offenders unit in a vise until he is screaming. Weld the vise so the handle will no longer open, start the building on fire and hand the prick a dull spoon and say your choice.
