McCain spoke with his usual mediaspeak..”...it was “terrible” and amounted to “torture.” and this from the lawyer “...the drugs caused “cruel and unusual punishment.” The only torture and cruel and unusual punishment was the stated “obscene” length of time it took to deliver the punishment due to our appeals system. The tax-payers pick up the tab for 25 years of free room, board, and medicine plus the perks prisoners have in most prisons....Frankly a bullet is cheaper by far and probably the choice of most on death row.
I believe I would choose the firing squad if I were being executed.
I recall some WWII video of German “werewolfs” caught during the Battle of the Bulge. They were tied to a post and shot by a firing squad. They appeared to die instantly and immediately become a rag doll.
