All the more reason to oppose it here, where your shrieking does some good, in addition to the wide-eyed grief that China is killing people on wheels instead of in a building.
It's not very important whether the Chinese execute people standing up, sitting down, in a van or in a fixed facility.
The same is true of the United States.

I am sorry but I don't agree, you, like John Corzine must have led a sheltered life. Just listen to a brief synopsis of who Gov. Corzine sparred by abolishing the death penalty.

Gov. Jon Corzine the day before commuted the sentences of eight men sitting on the state's death row. They will now serve life in prison without parole, according to the governor's office.
Among the eight is Jesse Timmendequas, 46, who was sentenced to death in June 1997 for Megan's murder.
Prosecutors said Timmendequas lured Megan to his home by saying he wanted to show her a puppy. He then raped her, beat her and strangled her with a belt. A day later, he led police to her body.

I suggest all you ant-death penalty people read the transcripts from the Timmendequas trial. And tell me you don't think this sub-human should at least meet the same fate as a sick dog does? He deserves far worse. Nothing is cruel and unusual for that thing.
