We moved away from public executions because public opinion was turning against the death penalty. So we invented truly cruel and inhumane methods like the gas chamber and lethal injection. Whoever thought it was a good idea to strap a dude to a chair inside a sealed chamber so he can choke to death over 20-30 minutes of inhaling poison gas was a true sadistic and sick fuck. Lethal injection is equally as abominable; its basically drowning someone, but a paralytic drug keeps everyone else from finding out.
As soon as the public sees the face of a freshly beheaded convict blinking and moving their mouth, along with massive blood spurts coming out of their body at the neck, most will revolt and demand an end to the practice.
