Being able to make someone come while dying makes the death penalty seem so much less barbaric than previously. To hear some tell it, it’s all just a lot of fear and suffering but clearly this explodes that myth. If we could only bring back public execution by hanging then everything would be so pretty. But that will never happen because liberals only care about the “rights” of the criminal and couldn’t care less about audience satisfaction.

And your ‘instructor’ kept a straight face?
