Mississippi considers firing squad as method of execution
 

Mississippi lawmakers are advancing a proposal to add firing squad, electrocution and gas chamber as execution methods in case a court blocks the use of lethal injection drugs.

 

Republican Rep. Andy Gipson says House Bill 638 is a response to lawsuits by "liberal, left-wing radicals."

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

Bullets are cheap.  I'm all for it.

Absolutely

Rope is cheaper.

That works too.

A single bullet. Why a squad? One man. One bullet, 50 cal to the back of the head.

Drop em in a hole, call it done.

 

I mean... if we're killing people as a punishment. Why be humane at all about it?

The future of judicial executions should be the gas chamber and asphyxiation via nitrogen gas.

It appears that the Oklahoma house has already approved it's use.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.







 

You think a wrongly convicted man has ever been executed?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the current argument over method of execution and not whether there are executions at all?

You have to give that poster a break. Understanding and contributing to topics in a meaningful way isn't that poster's strong suit.

Yeah.


So wouldn't it be nice to at least make it as humane as possible since not everyone will "deserve" it?

---

Yeah.

Isn't firing squad one of the most humane ways?

I honestly don't think firing squad is as brutal as gas chamber, tbh. If I were ever to do something so grossly against the law that death was the punishment, I'd take firing squad. It's done in a second. Gas chamber though? Ughhhhh....that's brutal.

I don't know.


Want to try and let us know if it hurts?

Cost of rope - < $10

Cost of tree - free

 

And it would be "green" by not using any energy.  A win-win all the way around.
