"A person is being killed, people are allowed to watch and a skirt and shoes are deemed unsuitable for an audience member to wear to witness the killing. That is seriously fucked up." It reminds me of the gladiator spectacles in Roman times. The usually profoundly Christian states who perform these executions would do well to remember who got fed to the lions for Roman entertainment. If they need reminding - the word martyr derives from the ancient Greek word for "witness". | |||

You'd think that might stop them creating their own death spectacle, but apparently not. | |||

"Leaving aside my disgust at the death penalty and the questionable practice of allowing journalists to watch, what is a defensible dress code? Would we be equally outraged if a topless male journalist had been told to cover up? We had a thread recently where the consensus was that a man being topless in a supermarket was inappropriate. Why then are we upset that a short skirt at an execution is considered the same? Like I said, this ignores the issues around having a death penalty but that isn't what the thread is about. I think some of the attitudes on here are a little strange. There were some very definite views about what a man should or shouldn't be allowed to wear while buying his tomatoes yet the same people deny the exact same sense of decorum to others? For what it's worth I don't believe the death penalty is the right solution for a civilised society and I certainly don't believe that it should be witnessed by journalists. However, if these things are going to happen I do believe that like any other aspect of human life there will always be ways of dressing that are deemed appropriate and I believe the people of Alabama have a much right as a society to decide what these are as we do to decide what is or isn't appropriate in Sainsbury. Mr" My problem isn't with the dress code itself. I wouldn't expect someone to be admitted wearing a clowns outfit either. I'm just incredulous at the whole situation. I wonder if anyone took their knitting... | |||

" My problem isn't with the dress code itself. I wouldn't expect someone to be admitted wearing a clowns outfit either. I'm just incredulous at the whole situation. I wonder if anyone took their knitting..." Exactly. It just seems strange to me that when we are discussing a situation where a man is legally being killed and this is considered appropriate journalistic content and the debate is around the length of a skirt in the audience. I'm sure most would agree with the clown suit, the top less man or even a woman dressed in micro skirt and stockings with her stocking tops and suspenders on full show. People being people with the inevitable variation in what they deem as acceptable or not I totally understand that there are rules around dress codes for certain places/activities. I just think it is strange that we all have endless justification for what *we* think is or isn't appropriate but get upset when others draw the line in a different place - and not only that but get upset to the point that the discussion is around whether it not it is right to enforce a dress code rule at an execution as though somehow doing this makes everything else worse. We all have opinions on what is and isn't acceptable atire in a range of situations. We all have opinions on which situations it is appropriate for another person to enforce those rules. None of our opinions are any more valid than anyone else's. I simply don't understand how you can defend a security guard enforcing a tops must be worn policy in a supermarket but get bothered by an unnamed authority enforcing a rule stating skirts must be below the knee at an execution. That rule and its enforcement has absolutely zero to do with the morality of executing a person or allowing the act to be journalistic grist. Mr | |||

Hrynkiw said she tried to lower her skirt at the hip in an attempt to comply with Betts, but that didn’t satisfy the prison official.

In English history people were hanged, drawn and quartered. Have you read a description of what that entails? It's pretty grotesque. But obviously not violent, because it was legal.  the more you know | |||

"“I have worn this skirt to prior executions without incident, to work, professional events and more and I believe it is more than appropriate. At 5'10? with my heels on, I am a tall and long-legged person,” she said on Twitter. Hrynkiw, an award-winning journalist, has attended and witnessed seven executions. Hrynkiw said she tried to lower her skirt at the hip in an attempt to comply with Betts, but that didn’t satisfy the prison official. In order to witness the execution for reporting purposes, she had to borrow a pair of Columbia PFG fisherman’s waders from a local television photographer. The fishing gear was deemed appropriate attire." Couldn't make this up. Has the whiff of monty python about it. It's a good thing that the morality of a premeditated state killing is upheld by not seeing someone's knees." I do understand where you're coming from but I disagree. You appear to be implying that because a person who believes executing certain criminals is morally the right thing to do is so obviously wrong, any opinion they have on other lesser moral issues is laughable - or at least worthy of sarcasm. How far do you take this? Do you say 'you (wrongly) consider the death penalty ok so you shouldn't have speeding laws?' Drink driving laws? How serious does a moral infringement have to be before someone who condones the death penalty is considered by you to be reasonable in their opinion when condemning a lesser issue? I share your view that the death penalty is wrong. What I don't share is the opinion that anyone who disagrees with this is automatically either immoral or amoral and that any morals they consider themselves to have are laughable. I get that the main thrust of what you have said on this thread is against the death penalty but you've also said you don't care if the woman was naked and made the sarcastic comment I've replied to above. I'm sure that you do have an opinion on naked people in public settings buy in this instance you feel the dress code pales into insignificance in comparison to the death penalty. If however - like some of the people of Alabama - you believe the death penalty is justified then why would you not want to impose a dress code you deem appropriate? My biggest issue with this thread is that it demonstrates that many of the people opposed to the death penalty don't believe that those who aren't have morals, or at the least that any morals they have are suitable targets for ridicule. That seems to me to be a crazy way to be if you hope to convince people to change. Mr | |||

My point is the ones who are undoubtedly guilty committing a crime that they know carries the death penalty can’t really complain when they get it. It’s like my speeding and then complaining when I get 3 points. | |||

"Leaving aside my disgust at the death penalty and the questionable practice of allowing journalists to watch, what is a defensible dress code? Would we be equally outraged if a topless male journalist had been told to cover up? We had a thread recently where the consensus was that a man being topless in a supermarket was inappropriate. Why then are we upset that a short skirt at an execution is considered the same? Like I said, this ignores the issues around having a death penalty but that isn't what the thread is about. I think some of the attitudes on here are a little strange. There were some very definite views about what a man should or shouldn't be allowed to wear while buying his tomatoes yet the same people deny the exact same sense of decorum to others? For what it's worth I don't believe the death penalty is the right solution for a civilised society and I certainly don't believe that it should be witnessed by journalists. However, if these things are going to happen I do believe that like any other aspect of human life there will always be ways of dressing that are deemed appropriate and I believe the people of Alabama have a much right as a society to decide what these are as we do to decide what is or isn't appropriate in Sainsbury. Mr My problem isn't with the dress code itself. I wouldn't expect someone to be admitted wearing a clowns outfit either. I'm just incredulous at the whole situation. I wonder if anyone took their knitting..." • Don't even mention knitting, your Ladyship! I've caveated that at the bottom of my profile. | |||

In real terms it is a crime that isnt going to be prosecuted like that, but one of those fun law things that exists in theory (and like I said may have changed since) Like shooting a Scotsman with a crossbow in York or wherever it is?" Yeah, kind of, except the example you gave doesn't technically hold true because we have more modern laws that say shooting anyone is a crime. But same idea yeah! | |||

"To be fair.. if the law changed and the job of London executioner was advertised then the queue would be long But who would be executed? It may have changed in the last decade but I remember reading back in the noughties that technically High treason against the crown does still carry the death penalty.

Shooting is not necessarily a crime... The feds often shoot people | |||

"Does anyone know what crime the man committed? He took and tortured people as young as 3 yrs old with another man. Who also rpd his victims so deserved what he got Nevermind that, people in here would rather wet the bed over the dress code at his execution I think you've missed the point. No one cares what someone wore the the execution. This is a good example of how the media works, what they direct people attention to. The more interesting debate is the suitability of the death penalty as a judicial punishment or about the role the media plays in modern life. Yes. Or perhaps the normalisation of violence, the justification of violence. Does this correlate with the Second Amendment? Then contrast this with the scandal. Horror. Outrage. Of seeing... You won't believe it. Knees!
What are the cultural issues that lead to such a strange juxtaposition?
Theres obviously a dress code applying. Whats your big issue with it?
I don't give a shit about the dress code.
I care about the barbarism and brutality of the death penalty.
And the barbarism and brutality of the executed who preyed on children. I expect you could rehabilitate him..
Maybe...
The sheer existence of the death penalty will result in innocent people dying.
You can bring up any other fact you want to but this fact will remain true.
In order to be ok with the death penalty you have to be ok with the idea of killing innocent people.
Well so many people have no issue with it in relation to an unborn child. Why should they care about a violent criminal? " | |||

"Well so many people have no issue with it in relation to an unborn child. Why should they care about a violent criminal?" That assertion only holds up if you belong to a specific book club though. Which the majority of the UK does not. | |||

The NYPD set up 5 teenage boys for r*pe just because they happened to be in the same area when it happened. They spent a combined 36 years in jail. | |||

"They stay on death row for years and every avenue explored.. They do not execute the innocent " They do. At least 10% of them are found to be innocent. Not every avenue is explored. The not expecting them avenue, as an example. | |||

"Not believing that nonsense... " It's true. Is should be all over the news. But instead they print stories about what some randomer wears to an execution as a distraction from what's really going on in the world. | |||

"Well your fact matters not.. They execute them anyway.. And not a tear shed. They have execution parties and they deserve their happiness" How many innocent people would need to be executed for you to "shed a year"? Also, these are not my facts, they are real life facts from the real world, verifiable with a quick Google search. | |||

"Reports that she borrowed some fishing waders from the boot of another journalists car? Could this be true ?" Yes that's what was reported. She borrowed fishing waders and training shoes from other journalists and was allowed "in". I'm not sure short skirt and 3 inch heels are appropriate for such a sombre moment but I'm sure fishing waders are not appropriate either. She is of course traumatised by it as she's worn her execution outfit to 7 previous executions without problems. Still misses the point that it's a spectator sport which is pretty disgusting. | |||

"Tom is serious. A women in rubber waders is a turn on in Toms world. Especially if it's black rubber and definitely if it's shiny rubber. He would prefer to be sat next to a lady in rubber waders than in a skirt if he ever gets to witness a legal execution.." I bet Tom loves a lederhosen. | |||
