I'm oddly happy they are bringing back the electric chair. I mean if we are going to have executions at all.
Lethal injection is evil, it takes away the appearance of killing allowing people to distance themselves from the reality of what they support/are-doing. It's been theorized for some time now that lethal injection is actually pretty torturous but those viewing it just aren't seeing the torture. One of the drugs in the 'cocktail' is given specifically to prevent the condemned from thrashing around, but there's no evidence it reduces the pain felt in the dosage size given. Making the execution appear humane.

If they go through with it, it will be interesting to see how the death penalty fairs when the public finally ends up face to face with what they are supporting. Both drop-hanging and the guillotine are actually more humane than both modern methods, but are always much more graphic, and graphic executions cause people to quickly remove support for the death penalty, so it was cleaned up to allow the US to still kill mentally disabled black people.
