Those criminals are the same ones who'll rape, dismember, eat your daughters, mothers, sisters.  Maybe we should employ the same thing here.  Noticed our crime goes up/society goes down as our executions goes down in #, every year?  Countries who still have the death penalty intact and enforce it effectively have a much lower violent crime rate. = Smarter kids, more productive population, rising nation.<br><br>Criminals here arent scared of the justice system at all. Look at the whole peanut scandal - they knew about the Salmonella, etc. and they knew nothing was going to happen to them. In contrast with the melamine scandal in China, it was a swift investigation and swift execution to the violators. Justice served! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joey Gladstone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 14th 2009 9:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese Execution Bus a Reality]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</guid><description><![CDATA[@ Joey: I agree with you on the peanut thing, but you are completely wrong about the death penalty. <br><br><a href="http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/deterrence-states-without-death-penalty-have-had-consistently-lower-murder-rates" rel="nofollow">http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/deterrence-states-without-death-penalty-have-had-consistently-lower-murder-rates</a><br><br>Just do a bit of research and you'll see that it's quite the opposite of what your beliefs are.

The criminal are in a prison, why would the need a mobile execution chamber.  This is a mobile organ harvesting machine.  They catalog their people like cattle, when a rich guy needs an organ, they drive to the poor unlucky bastards house, take him into the van kill him and harvest his organs enroute to the hospital where some party member or rich westerner gets his freshly taken heart.  <br>You comment show a depth of ignorance I hardly knew existed.

We let child molesters / killers out and they just turn around and do it again, sometimes more violently. When are we going to stop listening to the sob sisters of society and go back to an Eye for an Eye. I'm sure they would sing a different tune if something happened to someone they loved. About the smarter kids I don't know. If you are born dumb, that's it. There's no remedy for that.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carmen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 15th 2009 3:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese Execution Bus a Reality]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</guid><description><![CDATA[This article misses the entire point of the bus.  Why is it mobile?  ORGAN HARVESTING, they execute a prisoner, and begin cutting him up enroute to the hospital where the transplantation take place.  Remember, this is China, we're talking about political prisoners, not murderers.  Also, remember all citizens in China are STATE PROPERTY, so the state identifies by blood type all its citizens, and when some wealthy party member, or westerner or saudi sheik needs a new heart, they go get the person, kill them and harvest their organs on the way to the hosptial.  Very efficent these tyrants can be.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 15th 2009 3:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese Execution Bus a Reality]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</guid><description><![CDATA[I like the concept!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MOSSY]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 15th 2009 4:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese Execution Bus a Reality]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well they could decorate the bus.Put a big dragon head on the front or a big weiner on top.Maybe a WW2 type pin up on the side and a little corpse symbol each time they off someone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lotek7]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 15th 2009 8:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese Execution Bus a Reality]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</guid><description><![CDATA[Tony, its a little bit different than you describe. They don't enter the blood type, DNA, etc, into the database until somebody has been arrested. The executions are typically of criminals who are convicted of capital crimes (all thefts of $10,000 or over are potentially capital offenses)<br><br>China claims that it "never" convicts the wrong person, but like the US, a substantial number of prisoners are certainly there because of a police error or often, because they crossed the wrong powerful person and were then, framed for a crime they didn't commit. <br><br>In China "who you know" means everything. The system is very corrupt and the chances of getting ahead without being part of that system is very low.<br><br>The "net worth" of each human body, when its parted out, is over $200,000 so you can see, executions are a cash cow for the government. <br><br>The younger and healthier, the better.  One has to wonder if perhaps that (astounding) six figure value might be utilized here along similar lines to viatical settlements so that young Americans could get the money to go to college, etc. <br><br>They could sell the rights to their organs.<br><br>Someone could get implanted with a pet-style chip or a tattoo on their foot or something and when/if they died, their organs could be harvested. In exchange, they would receive a sum equivalent to the cost of four years of college. <br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frank D]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 15th 2009 10:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese Execution Bus a Reality]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</guid><description><![CDATA[ I have done 3 major tours of China ..fascinating country ..especially the ancient villages in the mountains !!! Western people will never understand Eastern thinking .. USA only has 231 years of history as a country ..while China has many thousands of years. Executions are effective, save space in jails and prisons, and save lots of tax money. American-style "Civil rights" do not exist in China ..but the governemt DOES take care of their people from birth to death and educates them. Since the late '70's most Chinese have good things to say about their government's general direction and problem-solving, believe it or not.<br> American politics never solves anything ..only creates more messes each time the voters go too far right or too far left ..which happens every 4 or 8 years. Right now, we have began a huge shift to the LEFT ..which will not work ..just like the last big shift to the RIGHT did not work. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 15th 2009 3:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese Execution Bus a Reality]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</guid><description><![CDATA[I live in Beijing now and I'm familiar with the organ harvesting stories. They're very true, albeit illegal. But stop people and think for a second. How the hell do you harvest organs from a poisoned body? That's one of the reasons why the government switched from shooting to lethal injection. You can't pump a body full of lethal chemicals and then try to sell the liver. Wow, think sometimes people.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 15th 2009 10:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese Execution Bus a Reality]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/14/chinese-execution-bus-a-reality/</guid><description><![CDATA[Clean out the prisons.

An injection of potassium chloride would cause the heart to simply stop, resulting in cardiac arrest, which is technically "clinical death". Brain death ensues within minutes. If the organs are harvested as soon as the heart stops pumping, and cryogenically preserved, minimal damage would result. The elevated levels of potassium in the tissues would be easily eliminated.<br><br>Potassium chloride lethal injections are not "poisonous" in that they do not cause damage to the organs, and do not have toxic metabolites. It merely stops the heart cells' ability to depolarize, just like switching off the ignition key in your car.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[geo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 12:24PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
