Oops that does not look right. I should have said they were executed by hanging.

I’m against the death penalty because I don’t want the government to have the power to kill people openly, but if the death penalty is going to be applied, let it be by firing squad.

This.

I actually think this is the most humane and ironically most similar to biblical stoning. Consider the bullets to be small stones

Were I subject to the death penalty this is what I’d want.

There have been problems lately with lethal injections, some company in Europe stopped making one of the drugs and the replacement drug is no good.

I’ve always thought lethal injection was stupid. It’s supposed to be “humane”? Pfft. I love especially how they swab the arm with alcohol first, would want the soon to be dead guy to get an infection. :d

I say just hang em, or shoot em, or (and this is a great idea) don’t actively kill them, just don’t give them any food.

“I say just hang em, or shoot em, or (and this is a great idea) don’t actively kill them, just don’t give them any food.”

Love it!

Then trade the carcasses in for “carbon credits”.
