Firing Squad? o O

[Hecz]

so, does the firing squad shoot once or do they go off?

I say f**k letting them rot in jail ,if u do somthing bad enough to get put on death row ,they should let the family of the victom choose how he dies. Give em 5 doors to choose from ,hang em,shoot em,torture ,raped by a crow bar or just a room full of power tools then let the victoms fam choose and do it them self

damn. now that's crazy right there.

i would personally like to see a live PPV event with maybe several death row inmates put to death in wacky creative ways.. take the profits and donate them to the families of the victims.. i know I would buy in!

a la Running Man

 

[oc_civic]

straight savage man. f**k 25 years of death row, he owes the system the 5 cents its gonna cost to put a bullet through his brain. as far as people shocked we still have it, in the military its still used, the crazy one is the hanging, that shits rough if you ask me.

[Mr. Jollypants]

technically he can't ask for the firing squad

Technically he can, because he chose Firing Squad before the law was enacted, so he was grand fathered in.

 

[vjf915]

I agree with most of the people in here. I know he deserves to rot in jail, but I dont think that as a country we have enough money to support that. Once its proven that they did it, transport them straight to a ditch in the middle of nowhere and shoot them in the back of the head. I have ABSOLUTELY NO sympathy for people who are on death row. They dont deserve more than that.

 

[vjf915]

Oh one more thing. I hope that the four shots "miss" and he gets hit in the shoulder, knee cap, stomach, and lung. Then they decide not to waste four more bullets on him and just let him sit there.

[knightxrider1]

no Massachusetts?

 

[MR99si]

They still do that stuff? Wow.

Hey, we're in a recession and a few rounds of ammo is a lot cheaper then all that s**t needed for lethal injection.



One thing I like about China is that they don't screw around with f**ks like this, they take em' out back and blow their brains out. And they also send the bill for the ammo to the family.

 

[2NRSTV]

They should buy their bullets from Wal-Mart. They have really good deals.

 

[Voltio]

no Massachusetts?

Massachusetts is full of criminal loving, constitution hating politicians... and queers

 

[lethal6]

OC: I caught that too. Military's sole execution method is lethal injection. I don't know where buzzbottom is getting his information from.

no Massachusetts?

Nope. They abolished the death penalty in 1984.

Wasn't Saddam Hussein hung there couple years back? I remember seeing a cell phone video on the net somewhere... of course its most likely been pulled off the net by now.

 

[vjf915]

Saddam was actually hung in his country. We couldnt put him on trial here because he really didnt commit any crimes here.

 

[lethal6]

I believe vjf is correct. Saddam's sentence was carried out by his own country.

the law was enacted in 2004. the judge signed his death warrant this month. he is about 6 years too late to request a firing squad. altho it would be a lot cheaper.

 

[hardcore97]

so, does the firing squad shoot once or do they go off?

from what i understand some of the guns have blanks and some have real bullets, the people on the squad dont know if their gun is really loaded or has a blank. im not sure how many people are on the squad thats just what ive heard. i believe is just one shot. although they could just give them machine guns a belt and let them go to town lol but i dont see that happening

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

the law was enacted in 2004. the judge signed his death warrant this month. he is about 6 years too late to request a firing squad. altho it would be a lot cheaper.

He requested it YEARS ago. I remember reading it in a news article.

Utah's death row inmates were for decades allowed to choose how they wanted to die. State lawmakers removed that choice in 2004 and made lethal injection the default method, though inmates sentenced before then still have a choice.

 

[red98civ]

the way the firing squad works is 4 of 5 people have bullets. they aim at the victim's heart from 20 feet away and boom. 4 bullets straight into the heart unless they miss and the victim suffers.

someone correct me if i'm wrong
