Re: Utah Wants To Reinstate Firing Squads As Method Of Execution
I don't see anything wrong with government-sponsored killing.. I mean, China, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iran all do it.. and I know how much we admire those countries.
also, I think it would make jesus really happy. sign me up in full support of it - if it's good enough for ISIS, it's good enough for Utah.

It certainly is cheaper than lethal injection & the chair.

They'll switch back to Sparky when members of the firing squad all go on disability for PTSD.

The plan is to use 12-year-old captured ISIS fighters, so no worries about PTSD.

For/against death penalty is a separate discussion. Assuming the DP is allowed, why not firing squad? Let's bring back the executioner and his giant axe Henry VIII style. Or Madame Guillotine. How about a tree shredder? Could probably rent one for $150/day & the remains go straight to the compost heap. Everybody wins.
Why is lethal injection or the chair considered to be "more humane"? Because there's no blood and the body isn't mutilated? Is it easier on our consciences to do the killing that way? Full of holes or full of poison, they're still dead.

I don't know if you're familiar with how it works, but not everyone has live bullets, so you never know if you're the one that did the actual killing.

because we're America and are fully participatory in selective moral outrage... I think that for some people it helps them sleep at night when they know that their government murdered someone in what they believe to be a more "peaceful" fashion..Heat Miser wrote:

I've heard that's a fallacy because shooters can generally tell the difference between a blank and a live round.Heat Miser wrote:

I like how our government is open to murdering its own citizens but doesn't want the person who actually does the killing to feel bad about it..Heat Miser wrote:

Makes sense. I wouldn't know.

I don't think anybody is forced to do it. I'm sure there are plenty of folks in Utah willing to volunteer to be on the firing squad. They'd probably bring their own guns & ammo. Talk about economical.

I do know that. And I think the entire firing squad will eventually claim disability because of it.

Re: Utah Wants To Reinstate Firing Squads As Method Of Execution
In Utah they used volunteer police for the firing squad. 5 man squad, 4 live rounds and 1 blank. If you volunteer to do something like that, I'm not sure how you can claim disability later. It is basically signing up, with the intent to be part of a team that executes an immobile person from a distance of 10 feet or so. They might get disability, but probably not from doing this, unless they are forced to for some reason.

Are they different than the guy who pulls the lever on Old Sparky? Or the doctor that does the injection?
I assume they would use people who have been trained to shoot guns...at other people. They're doing what they've chosen to be trained to do. Maybe you're right. Maybe Utah hasn't really thought this through.

Re: Utah Wants To Reinstate Firing Squads As Method Of Execution
Honestly, a bullet to the head is more humane than the other methods of the death penalty. I have no problem with a firing squad.

Except they aim for the heart, which is not always fool proof, but probably more fool proof than a botched 2 hour lethal injection.

what would be really cool would be to see the look on the face of the god-fearin' conservatives when a guy was just about ready to carry out the lords work and murder someone.. and right before he did it, he yelled "ALLAH AKBHAR"!!!

exactly, I bet the hate wires in the minds of conservatives would be permanently damaged if the one Muslim in Utah murdered someone on behalf of the government yelling "Allah Akbhar"!!

So what should we do with these POS? Lock them away from society for 50+ years at $40K/year to the taxpayer? Who the hell is that benefiting?

On a related note, there should be an auction for the right to put a round in Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

So you're saying it is better to keep them alive and locked away with no chance of ever making a positive contribution to society regardless of cost? Then per usual we agree to disagree and I'm ok with that...

yes, as someone who values life - all life - that's what I'm saying. I'm cool with disagreeing.. at least we don't get banned here for disagreeing with people.CheesySpartan wrote:

oh - and if we invested money in people on the front end of life, I suspect we'd be less likely to need to invest money on them in correctional facilities.
but that's for another thread, I guess.
