If there were televised or streamed executions and people threw parties around the event, if there was a pool on how long or at what minute death was called would you enter it?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) May 4th, 2015

If they streamed executions on the Wed or televised it and some people hosed a party behind it, and they were taking a pool as to how quick death came after the chemicals were loosed through the blood stream of the condemned, how many minutes after that death would be pronounced, if the condemned would give any last words spoken etc. even if you did not sit to watch the actual killing, would you partake of the betting pool?

No way those chemicals are far too unpredictable.

Even if they worked well, it would not be exact with everyone, that is why it would still be a wager or guess.

I can’t say I’d join in on a party but I might bet the over/under.

^ Before or after the needle?

So at this point there would be a private company that is required to increase profits and therefore boost executions for revenue. Sounds sickening but is pretty much what we have today.

@Blondesjon – Are you giving odds?

Blondesjon's avatar

@Jaxk . . . Yes, but they are 100% based on the on the last meal.

I wouldn’t since I wouldn’t be there to begin with.

This is an offensive concept in its entirety. It is like dogfighting only one step farther.

@zenvelo It is like dogfighting only one step farther.
That would be closer to placing two or more people in an enclosure armed and having them fight until the last man was standing, and he gets to leave.

How much are we talking about?? After all, money talks!

^ Depends on how large the pissing contest is. I am sure it could go into the thousands easy.

I might enter the pool for the money but probably not watch the actual deed.
