tinyE: I'm not in favor of capital punishment and the fact that he spent thirty years on death row before finally succumbing to what is being initially called "natural causes" proves the point that it really doesn't accomplish anything other to make the sociopath (at least in his case) more famous.
jamyskis: Well, capital punishment is humane and supposed to be relatively painless, and hopefully these natural causes made him suffer to the last.
That's the problem - it's painless(or at least, that's what they say). In Vlad Tepes' time, someone like this filth would've been impaled in such a way as to avoid the internal organs, so the scum would die slowly over the course of hours or, as some scholars write, up to 2 days. That's what this vermin would've deserved, that's what he would've got in a normal society.
