My name is William Konig and next year I am going to college at Texas Christian University for Journalism. I've created this blog to get my name out there in the news/political industry. The main goal of this blog is to comment on recent political topics and have debates.

Death Penalty
I found this to be interesting so I thought that I would share it with you guys. NBC did a poll on the death penalty and other methods and the results showed that two-thirds of the people would be open to finding another way of "Humanly" killing someone other than the lethal injection. 20 percent of those who wanted another way said the gas chamber while 18 percent are for the electric chair. I think that the gas chambers is a horrible idea and definitely not painless. In the constitution it say no cruel and unusual punishment and I think that the gas chamber falls under that category. And I think that if they can not find an non-cruel way for putting someone to death then the death penalty can no longer be used. No matter if you are for the death penalty or not if the method is cruel and unusual then it is against the constitution. What do you guys think?

If I were on death row, I would like to be executed via firing squad because at least I could see who my killers are and die in a more honorable death. I am personally disgusted when people are put down like animals, whether it be through lethal injection, gas chambers, whatever...
