There’s quite a difference in recoil between firing a live round and firing a black.

AutoCorrect be raciss!

Why even have a human in the loop? Automate it with a few of these.

Yep. This is the answer. If some want to limit access to certain drugs, fine. Bullets work. Ropes work. We need not overly complicate this.

I often think of the same thing. It’s cheap, available and it kills.

You can construct the Walter White method using a bump stock with a timer on a

trigger bar or just a trigger bar attached to several rifles and timer mechanism.

Nobody has to fire the shot. Or you can attach a rope to a helmet so when the

subject falls asleep and his head drops - BANG. Or he can choose his own

moment. - BANG Or if he sneezes - BANG.

Not always.
The first murderer in “In Cold Blood” to be excited hung for half an hour and didn’t die...

Lack of proper training. Most of the Nazi esso bees hung at Nuremberg weren't properly hanged either. There is just a lack of practice since it went out of fashion. But it got the job done and I don't feel sorry for either group. The Nazi scum, for obvious reasons, the In Cold Blood scum because they butchered an entire family with no remorse.

Singapore does proper hangings because they get the practice. They would probably train us just for actual expenses because they like Americans.

Bring back Dr. Guillotin’s device. No complaints from those subjected to its tender mercies. It is, however, rather messy.

Three firing squad members will be behind the wall, with rifles facing the inmate through the opening.

The rifles and open portal will not be visible from the witness room. All three rifles will be loaded with live ammunition.

The witnesses will see the right-side profile of the inmate. The inmate will not face the witness room directly. The electric chair faces the witnesses directly.

The inmate will wear a prison-issued uniform and be escorted into the chamber.

The inmate will be given the opportunity to make a last statement.

The inmate will be strapped into the chair, and a hood will be placed over his head. A small aim point will be placed over his heart by a member of the execution team.

After the warden reads the execution order, the team will fire.

After the shots, a doctor will examine the inmate. After the inmate is declared dead, the curtain will be drawn and witnesses escorted out.

The problem with giving government the power of the death penalty is that they eventually use it as a means of attacking their political opponents

It also gives prosecutors more leverage and they typically abuse that leverage to further their career aspirations.

Government is too powerful. Defendants that feel they have no choice may opt to take out as many police and government agents as possible and die fighting. I think we’ll start seeing more of that as the legal system races to the bottom. I guess that’s one way of getting rid of bad people in government and out.

A loaded rifle has considerable recoil, a blank has none.

That is not true. The casings are already full to the brim. (I reload) Any other propellant would explode the rifle.

I watched for a long time. That little magazine seems to never run dry.

...”attacking their political opponents.”

See my FReeper profile for a suggested alternative to the death penalty.

It’s still a lethal injection. It just doesn’t use a catheter and requires ear plugs.

Every veterinarian has an ample supply of euthanasia meds. What is this short supply narrative?
