Would you support "Death Penalty by Challenge"

[Ike Stain]

if the condemned waived their right against cruel and unusual for a one and only Chance to win their freedom?

I remember how a few weeks ago you hardly posted here anymore. My, how I long for those days...

Don't worry. I'm only out on furlough.

You mean like a real life size Harry potter game of chess against deep blue? Or being hunted like John Leguizamo in The Pest?

That would rule.

Hunted by rich people. Yes.

That would rule.

That's what I'm saying.

No, that is fucking sick you sick fucking fuck

Well, it worked for the Romans, and with reality TV being so popular, I just thought, shit, why not.

In his hand he carried a drawn sword, and he kept peering warily about him as if at every instant he expected to be set upon by an enemy. He was a priest and a murderer; and the man for whom he looked was sooner or later to murder him and hold the priesthood in his stead. Such was the rule of the sanctuary. A candidate for the priesthood could only succeed to office by slaying the priest, and having slain him, he retained office till he was himself slain by a stronger or a craftier.

First sub zero, now plain zero!

What a hot head!

He was a pain in the neck!

I assume this would be some sort of spectator driven endeavour in the same vein as The Running Man or Gamer and as such, would replace sports as a kind of mass market collectivisation tool? Which begs the question, why would you want to be the kind of shit smeared mongoloid who would happily assimilate into the sort of synthetic tribalism these institutionalised rituals create, whose only real purpose is to have that petty tribalism played upon so as to be bombarded continually by advertising?






In other words: sure, why not.

Right? It seem like such a waste, strapping a natural born killer to a table when he or she could be out there with one more chance to do what they do best. Instead of flushing millions of taxpayer money on each of the condemned, we could make it into a cash positive endeavor.

I find the death penalty both stupid and hypocritical to start with, but it would make for some sweet television

Your logic is unassailable.

Challenge? like what? running a gauntlet of chainsaw weilding madmen?. If the answer is yes then what are we waiting for!.

It would likely be based on viewer voting, but there'd also probably have to be a separate show for the rich people who can afford to pay for licenses to hunt "the most dangerous prey."

 

[georges]

if you put the worst ghetto trailler trash dirtbag criminals and crooked politicians, then audience will be guaranteed

Killing dirtbags and scum is like going for big game hunting. Death penalty is useful because dangerous and insane criminals can't be reinstated. Just remember the deathwish movies. I remember in Deathwish3 , Bronson saying:"my friend Wildey always comes with me."

Kingfisher will actually be given a free license to hunt a human for having to put up with California's insane anti-gun laws.

I think it's only a matter of time before this becomes a reality. The revenue made from this would be astronomical. World wide ratings would be sky high and advertisers would be lining up to get commercial spot.

Where do you put the limit separating those who can live and those who have to die ?

Where do you put the limit separating those who can live and those who have to die ?

someone living in la cité des 3000 for exemple driving a class s 600sel , having a rolex watch and who is a thug threatening other inhabitants has to die, same for people racketeering and assaulting other people to steel their shoes or their watch or their car. Drug dealers have to die as well, they poison other innocent people with their shit. Thing is how far are we going to tolerate than the scum make their rules in the hoods ? If you are too laxist, one day or another it will end in a bloody nightmare, it is just a ticking bomb that will blow at the face of the politicians sooner or later. Because of the incompetence of previous governments to get rid of scum permanently has been seen since Mitterand, we are in deep shit. Send a French convicted rapist in the worst US prison and he will either end dead or stabbed. Our system gives too much eternal second chances to criminals and it is unacceptable.
