I think he chose it because he didn't think lethal injection was quick enough or something, but yeah it's ****** either way.

When I heard he was given that option and chose it, I figured he was making a statement on his way out lol

I mean he’s dying instantly so I guess I see his point.
Hasn’t there been some stuff about lethal injection being a horrible way to go?
There’s no debate a bunch of .308 to the chest will kill you quick.
Or maybe I’m confusing lethal injection with electric chair.

Both electric chair and lethal injection apparently have issues with causing prolonged suffering in some cases. Although I would imagine being shot wouldn't be much better unless they shoot you in the head which I don't think they do.

came across this article too:
Condemned South Carolina killer chooses to be executed by firing squad
Condemned South Carolina inmate Brad Sigmon has chosen to die by a firing squad. He would be the first U.S. inmate shot to death in an execution in 15 years.

you'd think with all the dangerous chemicals out there they'd have something that worked instantly. just inject a sodium channel blocker directly into the heart.

Yeah, I can’t really blame him and it brings attention to how messed up it is.

Meh. He beat his girlfriend's parents to death with a bat and tried to kill her too. If anything they should have allowed the victim's family/survivors to do the same to him. They didn't get a chance to go peacefully. Why should he?

Speaking of death penalty... Only two countries in the "major developed countries" have the death penalty. America (ofc) but Japan has a unique take on it.

They're not given a execution date, told the morning of only. family or relatives are told just few hours before. They are hung until death and the executioner is one of three guards in another room(they can't see the prisoner) that each press a button which they all press at the same time so none of them feel guilty. The "killing" button is randomized
Death penalty is overwhelming supportive by the japanese people.

I get both sides, I believe some people deserve to die.
the problem is so many people have been on death row or put to death because they got the wrong guy.

Ancient Greeks used to bury executed with food so that their hungry spirit won't come back and haunt em. Modern euro adopted that and came up with "last meal" before execution

It’s also more expensive than “just” imprisoning someone for life.

I'd love to see the execution bill versus the bill for feeding, clothing, and housing some scumbags from 18 to 75ish.

I’d like to see the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who’ve lost their lives because of wrongful imprisonment.
And that’s probably a low estimate.

I imagine the initial shock and adrenaline would soak up the real pain long enough for you to die by firing squad, if you chose to go that route. Would likely feel some pressure and a tiny bit of heat before passing out and just dying
Idk tho just a guess

What I dont understand is how come they try to shield executioners from guilt but send soldiers to war? Humans just be doing **** sometimes.

Height of his career Frank Sinatra would pay his outings by check. For the simple reason of that the receiver got Frank’s signature or one can say autograph and they just never cashed it
