What? Why? Is this a meme thread that I don't understand??
The death penalty never sat well with me. Seems barbaric.

Apparently we are the only 2 voters so far that do not like the idea of giving a tremendously flawed system explicit permission to kill.

Life sentence is another form of death penalty. Death by old age.

Idaho is about to legalize firing squad executions.

Since there are issues with lethal injection and the administration of such, I wonder if the appropriate bullets will be used or aim will do likewise.

I guess if they lined them up in front of an artillery piece they could get around the inherent cruelty of shooting someone to death but it seems to me that it would still be unusual.

We should at least learn something from it , it should be a science experiment . We could take 10 people on death row put them in a space shuttle with 5 pissed off baboons and shoot them into orbit .

That's not science, lol, it's just coliseum games with extra steps.
To be science you'd have to give the convicts knuckledusters.

Yes, baboons are vicious little monsters.
I've always imagined dying from a bullet to the head to be the best way to go. If we're going to have the death penalty, I think it is reasonable to do it this way.
I don't know why they can't just use fentanyl for lethal injection, instead of difficult to obtain, obscure drug cocktails.

Less unusual than using experimental chemical cocktails.
If it were up to me Iβm choosing the firing squad. I know bullets will kill me pretty quickly. Donβt want to be electrocuted or poisoned.

A firing squad is a pretty gentlemanly way to go.

Not sure Iβd want the theatrics of being lined up on the wall and all that anticipation, just double tap me in my sleep or something donβt have to be a dick about it

The theatrics are the whole point of executions.
Also, considering one of the reasons they're considering firing squads is because they can't get any half-decently qualified people to be executioners and keep botching it...you really think it's gonna be all that painless to have a bunch of half-tard yokels plink away at you for however long it takes them to finally hit something important?

I guess I would take a Pall Mall unfiltered, maybe a nice silky white covering for my eyes and hope they put the dummy load in all rifles.

You just amended my "best way to die". Yeah, that sounds even better! Better than a bullet to the head, is a bullet to the head, while I'm dead ass asleep.
Honestly, if I could arrange that, I wouldn't even care what day or time it happened. What a luxury, to be able to die that way! I always imagine I will go from an accidental drug overdose or some kind of crazy accident, so... A random bullet to the head would be nice.

If you live in the US, that's not an entirely unreasonable scenario.
