That would violate the 8th Amendment of the Bill of Rights. You either support the Bill of Rights, or you don't. You can't pick and choose, and it's not a 'living, breathing document'. If criminals must be executed, quick and clean will do the job.
Given the scale of the election fraud we're seeing here, the scare tactics they used to set up for the election fraud (I'd actually call it "terrorism"), and the potential for future large-scale MSM- and social media-based scare tactics and election fraud, it could be argued that this scandal represents previously-unseen levels of both threat and wrongdoing.
Think about it - if they get away with this shit, what's to stop them from trumping up some random health threat every time it seems politically expedient to send the populace into a panic or lockdown? What's to stop them from turning election fraud into a regular form of cybercrime, with millions of Americans' votes being rendered worthless every time election security falls a step behind election fraud?
The punishment for crime on this new level of harm and threat has no precedent yet, so nothing is yet "unusual", and it's up to us to determine what is appropriate and what is "cruel". If you can't feasibly prevent a given crime, people are highly motivated to commit that type of crime, and the harm caused by that crime is catastrophic, what choice do you have, other than a powerful deterrent? Criminals' rights are important, but terrorists' are less so, and the ability of the American people as a whole to enjoy their Constitutionally-guaranteed rights is far more important than either.
td;dr: "cruel and unusual" is relative, and sometimes the criminals leave you little room for mercy.
They are trying to destroy our economy, our sense of well being, to aid themselves in a communist takeover of our country. The type of thing that always results in millions of brutal deaths.
I was going to ask rhetorically, "what could even be any worse than that?? Manufacturing and setting loose a virus onto the public?" Holy shit they did that too.
If there were every people that needed to swing in minecraft, its these people.
I agree with your point, but a firing squad or hangman should be enough to deter most who would commit treason. Everything we do sets a precedent, so if extenuating circumstances are used to violate the 8th Amendment, the other amendments of the Bill of Rights will soon follow.
“You stand in taint of high treason. Confess and you shall receive a quick death. DENY and you must be purified by pain. Do you confess? DO. YOU. CONFESS!? Then on the morrow...you shall receive...your purification.”
Bring back drawing and quartering!
using smart cars to do the pulling
smart cars have juuuuuuust enough torque to do that job, but no other real jobs sadly.
It's to hear the screams.
Bone Tomahawk-style... Ugh.
I read this once then twice. Thought for a few seconds and then start laughing uncontrollably. Thanks for the top shelf kek image!

I think OP is talking about the guillotine. Fast and clean. Takes one second and clean cut.
I agree I'm just joking. We should break him in the wheel in minecraft though
Helicopter would be fast enough, right?
One could argue that is very quick
I am thinking more of the guillotine
Guillotine and hang them! Maaaaybe not in that order, though.
Guillotine it is then
Ah, great minds
STRETCH HIM!!!
