Death By Firing Squad
-
it's not that easy to aim a handgun into your chest. much easier to the side of the head or up ones mouth. If I had to choose between the three, after hearing some real horror stories on lethal injection, firing squad would be an easy pick for me. And fuggedabout electric chair. Their is no instantaneous death with that one.

Any way you cut it it's a grisly, unnatural business. We'd be best off without it.
And it’s cheaper to just imprison them for life without parole.

Well, consider this: Thousands of people commit suicide by blowing their brain out. But I've never heard of suicide by shooting in the chest. There must be a reason...

A childhood friend of mine who became a cop shot himself in the chest. Presumably he did it so him mom could have an open casket funeral.

Agree. Death penalty is not stopping anybody from dong bad crimes.

I beg to differ. Dead people do not commit crimes of any kind.

Hmm, Someone smarter than I could do a data analysis to show that death penalty does not result and any change in (violent?) crime rate.
I am not against the death penalty, but to say that a reason to have it is because it prevents crime I dont believe is true. I think that the reason people want to have it is for "revenge", which I can understand.

I think I'm the only one here that routinely visited jails and prisons.
Cruel is a life in prison.
By the time you die, nobody cares or wants you. They put you in a cardboard box and bury you in the pauper's field with a number tag or in the prison graveyard.

If you asked them, would they tell you they'd rather be dead?
Education is extremely important.

This. Life in prison is a pretty severe sentence.

Some do.
Especially at Angola, I used to talk with the cons a lot.

When I was a Reservist there was a meathead (military police) Master Warrant Officer who would drop by our section for coffee and routine gossip with our senior NCO’s. His civi street job, if you want call it that, was a prison guard at the maximum security prison block northwest of the city. He had zero sympathy for the inmates and maintained each and every last one would sooner slit one another’s throat than give them the time of day. He also said they loved to live in their filth out of choice. He also figured the gorilla cage at the Calgary Zoo was more a 1000 times more civilized than even the medium security bloc in the same institution he worked. He loved doing Reservist work because it offered a catharsis from his day job.

A man who was put to death last month in South Carolina’s second firing squad execution was conscious and likely suffered in extreme pain for as long as a minute after the bullets, meant to quickly stop his heart, struck him lower than expected, according to a pathologist hired by his attorneys.

Seems to me the closest thing to humane execution, insofar as that’s not an oxymoron, is lethal injection where the first shot just puts you to sleep.

We don't worry about whether putting dogs to sleep is hurting them, and my assumption is that it doesn't. Most of us probably care a lot more for our dogs than we do for the people being executed in prisons.
