They need better stunt coordinators.

Japan's Hanging Room

Just to set this up, it's a room with a special podium, that can be retracted really quickly, leaving the guilty with a broken neck. In the video, it's the section of floor (shown retracted) with a red tape/paint demarkation.

NC Rep Larry Pittman

In a letter to the state legistlature:

“We need to make the death penalty a real deterrent again by actually carrying it out. Every appeal that can be made should have to be made at one time, not in a serial manner,” Pittman wrote in the email. “If murderers (and I would include abortionists, rapists, and kidnappers, as well) are actually executed, it will at least have the deterrent effect upon them. For my money, we should go back to public hangings, which would be more of a deterrent to others, as well.”

Nice guy...
