The death penalty is a controversial issue, obviously. I\u2019ve seen enough wrongful convictions that I can\u2019t advocate for capital punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same is true of Dr. Jim Williams, a friend and one of my fourth level graduates. However, as an MD he is practical enough to realize that if people are going to be killed by the state, it should happen swiftly and painlessly. There are some real horror stories involving lethal injection out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read Jim\u2019s take on it here at the Marshall Project<\/a>.\u00a0 Jim is the man who coined the term Tactical Anatomy, wrote a book on the same topic, and teaches a class by that name.\u00a0 His focus is on where to put a bullet to stop lethal aggression when faced with a homicidal criminal.\u00a0 You can learn more at tacticalanatomy.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no gentle way to kill a man. However, if it must be done, the most instantaneous and painless method is a bullet through deep brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If I knew I was irrevocably going to be put to death, it\u2019s what I\u2019d ask for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The death penalty is a controversial issue, obviously.
