Could you be a judicial executioner?

If you lived in a state where the death sentence was in effect would you have what it takes to be the states executioner.
I know i wouldn't be able to do it. In the past executioners were seen as "damned" people and even their graveyards were separate from public graveyards.
If there is anyone on DS who has the necessary gumption to be a judicial executioner, and if so, what methods would you use.

Executioners often also administer non-lethal physical punishments, or apply torture. Would you add that onto your resume?
Judging by the number of posts you see of the 'stick me in a locked room wiv 'im' type ilk I'd wager DS would be a perfect recruiting tool for potential executioners! ;-)
Again, for non lethal punishment...the punishment would need to be stated as per the law and administered accordingly, but only after 100% proof of guilt, with absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
I could comfortably administer this, with the full support of the law behind me. Morally, I would be doing the right thing...
What if the spider had been convinced of the premeditated homicide of numerous flies?
Not even then? ;-)
Surely that would be insecticide?
Lol, exactly. It'd be a strange thing to actively apply for.
Ps how much is an executioner paid these days? It used to be quite lucrative. That might make a difference
A good point well made.
On that topic, I doubt hanging would be appropriate punishment for the spider seeing as they love all that hanging about malarkey, and a fly would probably just hover up so the rope went slack, so I'd have to suggest the electric chair for all creepy crawlie killers. That or death by firing squad.
It's a tangled web you weave.
Good find. That was quite an interesting read.
Thanks for posting that. It was a difficult but interesting read. I am strongly against the death penalty because I think it's barbaric and inhumane and has no place in modern society. I think a better punishment for the most serious of crimes (eg serial killers) would be life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
