Death Penalty

So with the recent execution "fail" in our lovely state I thought I would take a few minutes to state my opinions on the subject and on what happened recently.
     In case you were not aware, here in Oklahoma there was a planned double execution. It would have been the first double execution for our state in around a 100 years. But, they decided to try this new death mixture for the injection and something went wrong with it, so a death that should have been over in 6-12 minutes ended up taking over an hour and included convulsing and the criminal becoming conscious at least 3 times during his death and said a few words each time that couldn't be understood but all that wasn't supposed to happen. This scum finally died of a cardiac arrest. The Doctor that was attending said he believes the mans vein blew so he wasn't getting the full dose of toxins thru his bloodstream causing the death to be considered painful and cruel treatment. So our "pansy" Governor (my opinion) decided to put a 10 day stay of execution to do a full investigation into exactly what went wrong and what changes needed to be made before the other man was put to death.
     These two jerks had already tried suing the state over this new combination of drugs that the state bought from another state to try stating that legally they should receive paperwork stating precisely every chemical and exactly how much would be injected into their bodies upon their deaths. It was overturned by a judge and so the state was given the approval to use the new controversial drugs without showing anyone the list of ingredients that would be in the injections.
     So, What is my opinion on what happened and on the death penalty itself?
It's too bad they hadn't injected both of them at the same time and got it over with and given the families of their victims the justice they deserve. Why do people always put their focus on the criminals and not the victims and their families who have to go on living after what was done to them or in the case of one of these victims, lost their life. I wonder if all these people who are so offended at how this past execution went and are now protesting to stop this second execution even bothered to find out what these two scumbags did in the first place to be sentenced to death row? Let's not forget a jury of these two guys peers who actually saw all the horrifying evidence and had to listen to every detail of the crimes committed and all agreed that these men deserved a death sentence. What exactly were those crimes? Well.... the one who is no longer with us shot a woman and then buried her alive. The piece of shit who is still alive at this moment abused and then murdered an 8 month old baby girl. 
     We could greatly decrease scum like that by just bringing back public executions. I don't care if it's only televised torture though I would prefer bringing back middle of town squares punishments where the public could pay a sum to participate with victims families given a freebie of course. Like pulling the rope free for hangings, the lever for beheadings and so on. And don't forget to include the stocks for lower but still horrible crimes like first time pedophiles. Then everyone could get a good look at the offender face to face instead of having to go on internet searches to make sure one isn't living next door to you or near your kids schools. We should be able to tell those types of people to their faces exactly what we feel about those who commit crimes against our innocents and chuck a rock at their head if you choose. The same punishments would go for this uprising amount of women pedophile offenders too. As it stands now not enough of these sickos have the fear they should of getting caught since we all know a lot of first time offenders get a little slap on the wrist. Going on with their lives after, being free to go many places our children should be safe to be at all times.
     Our country has become far too soft on punishments, therefore all of our innocent have become at risk and it seems we have more criminals walking about than clean morally decent people. The whiny do nothing people in our country keep crying out for answers when those answers have been in our own country's history this whole time. "It's high noon mother f'ers! I'm ready for a showdown!"
