Barbaric idiots.

Death penalties don't help to fight crime, as has been proven over and over again.

Republicans love to kill.

Three bullets shot by a three man squad. State can't even afford more men and a conscience round.

Honestly much better than lethal injection. Lethal injection is slow and tortuous but looks less violent.

I'd rather be give a fuck ton of herion and ran over with a bulldozer. If that's not available chop my head off

I've had several surgeries in my life that required a general anesthetic. There is no excuse or justification, other than sadism, for suffering here. Shouldn't have the death penalty in the first place.

It's like we are going backwards

I can't wait until we go back to stoning or burning at the stake. The US is going to undo the entire Reformation period.

The can on "cruel and unusual punishment" had always been a farce.

Article about execution by firing squad.

Shows picture of an electric chair.

I find all forms of capital retribution to be barbaric, in addition to having the problem of killing potentially innocent people. Add to that it's hard to argue that a justice-system can even exist when a prosecutor can just dangle the death penalty over a defendants head if they don't sign a plea.

-With all of that in mind I've always found the idea of a firing squad to be the least unappealing option out of all of the multiple unappealing options. Guns were specifically designed to effectively kill people with hundreds of years of iteration built into them. Our military and our Allies military sometimes even use them to kill children. a skilled shooter and a stationary target can make it quick. -At least, that's what I can imagine.

I fould prefer this over drowning in lung fluid, or being slowly electrocuted also.

Heck, execution is preferable to how the average person lives their lives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_in_the_United_States

Currently, only New Hampshire has a law specifying hanging as an available secondary method of execution, now only applicable to one person, who was sentenced to capital punishment by the state prior to its repeal in 2019.

The hanging of Billy Bailey is likely to be the final hanging in the United States, considering that all three of the states that maintained hanging as a secondary method of execution alongside lethal injection after the 1976 restoration of the death penalty have now abolished executions. Delaware's Supreme Court declared the death penalty to be in violation of their state constitution in 2016,[21] Washington abolished executions in 2018,[22] and New Hampshire abolished executions in 2019.[23] However, the last person on death row in the three states is Michael K. Addison in New Hampshire, convicted in 2008 of the 2006 murder of Michael Briggs, an on-duty police officer. Should the state carry out Addison's execution, the method could be hanging if lethal injection was found unconstitutional or inefficient, or if he chooses to be executed by hanging.

Talk about a go-down-in-the-history-books opportunity.

Seems like a guillotine would be far more humane. No 80 seconds of breathing - man that must be like an eternity of pain.
