It’s simple: Ready. Aim. Fire.
Why are we dependent on European manufacturers for these drugs in the first place? There are no American companies which supply these items??? How did that situation arise???
They could work on more gun control laws and limit this....but then we’d just resort to hanging, and you’d have to corner the entire rope industry and make people sign purchase agreements on rope usage....to render hangings obsolete.
Well.
I’d only add hymn singing before the perp is stood in front of the firing squad to make them scream louder.
Why no use of nitrogen chamber? Not messy, no poking, no weird chemicals, no pain, perp just dozes off.
Let’s fire up Ole Sparky too.....
Ask Gary Gilmore.
When I taught the kids how to shoot, I would occasionally put a snap-cap in the magazine, in some random order with the live rounds. There is nothing that reveals 'flinching' like pulling the trigger on a round that goes click!
I’m more on board with the perp getting off’ed the same way he killed his victims.
How does it work? It’s easy. We see it every day here on FR. Arrange everyone in a circle. Tell them to aim. Start shooting.
The last time Utah did one, there was massive attention from around the world, and reporters flooded the event.
There’s no gore. The man is strapped into a chair surrounded by black sandbags. Three .30 Cal rounds take out the heart and the man’s gone in a second. From BANG to the coroner’s van driving away with the carcass is less than 2 minutes. Game over.
All the reporters are left standing there thinking, Wow, that was slick.
Very well, apparently.
“The bullets come out of the gun going very, very fast.”
They should keep it going 24/7.
Utah uses the firing squad because they believe that a sinner must atone for his sins by shedding his own blood . . . it ia a mormon misunderstanding of the finished work of Christ.
I doubt many people would know the difference in a blank and a live round while excited and nervous about shooting a human, especially for the first time. Many old muskets have been found with multiple full loads in them. The soldier didn’t know the first didn’t fire and reloaded, didn’t fire, and reloaded again, over and over.
It works the other way, too. Shoot a heavy rifle off the bench and it rocks you and pounds you. Shoot it at a charging elephant and you don’t feel a thing. A friend’s wife was shooting a 6 point bull elk with her 243 and ran dry with him wounded and staggering. I handed her my vicious lightweight .375 with 270 gr handloads. Friend looked at me, I said shh. She shot the bull and dumped him and on the way home said she wanted a rifle just like mine, it works better.
Over the weekend I watched Geraldo's show about the Lacy Peterson's (sp?) murder by her husband Scott, & I was disgusted when he said that CA has over 700 (!) criminals on death row & that they won't be executed, they will appeal until they die of old age instead. His way of dealing w/ that was to get rid of the death penalty altogether. MY solution is to stop the continuous appeals & get the executions started!
