Utah death row inmate chooses firing squad

[PlasmaTwa2]

I don't care what he did. Being executed by firing squad is fucking manly.

 

[larss]

This man has spent over half his life (25 years) in prison awaiting the death penalty to be carried out. That is longer than many so call "life" sentences - I can't see how this is civilised in any way. For a mature civilisation to handing out the death sentence just seems wrong to me, no matter what the crime.

 

[STDiva]

This guy is a man.

 

[Agent Z]

I say let them choose for life sentence or being a 5 years long test for medicine... instead of just whacking them.

 

[mrtrebus]

the wrong person is not accused, sentenced and executed as often as you make it seem. that's a 1 in a million scenario

But it happens, even 1 in a million is once too often.

If he is innocent, then God will just cripple him. :yesyes:

As is the case with murder, rape, terrorism, and child molestation! Why have laws at all? Why don’t we simply rely on the good will of others? You need to see a doctor. Maybe he/she can fix your bleeding heart.

Wow, Utah is doing a wonderful job impersonating a Communist regime and the Nazis. And to so much applause in this thread...is that troubling?

c'mon tits.
at least their giving the guy a choice and being shot in the heart is much more humane than electric or gas.

 

[grower_boy]

My thoughts exactly. It's pretty badass compared to a wimpy injection.

Ah ha ! Mankind is the center of all evil until a murderer is about to be executed.

think that one through: the libs want more people to be murdered . . . maybe ?




J/K or not ;P :1orglaugh

My Kingdom for a facepalm smiley :weeping: Meester, seriously? None of these are humane There is no hair here worth splitting...no comb exists with a fine enough tooth to err, you know what I mean.

What's wrong with re-introducing labor camps? As long as the labor isn't lethal or extreme, why not have prisoners become farmers? We need food!

 

[~~whimsy~~]

What if this fire squad misses and only shoot his arms and legs?

Do they get another round or is that against the books?

Rule #5 - you're an idiot. They're trained professionals, they aren't going to miss that badly. It's not whack-a-mole. They aren't just pulling random people off the streets to take part in the execution. You really worry me sometimes, Dr.

That's not a rule, you simpleton! It could be Observation #5 or something better. Sheesh. You're slow on Sundays.

Any way, they should let him run around in a pen or something. Let it be fun. Sell tickets. Bring the family out for entertainment. Make some profit for the city. :hatsoff:

Of course you'd be the entertaining clown for the people's amusement to lighten up the fact they are watching five men shooting at a guy in a pen.

Since when does a criminal get a choice of how he meets his maker?

:wtf:

:wtf:

EDIT: Oh, it's s religious reference... how quaint.
