TBF after hearing some horror stories about some of the botched lethal injection deaths I'd be open to looking at more humane alternatives. I think being shot in the head multiple times would be more humane.

I'd be more for abolishing the death penalty completely though to be honest. Mainly because I don't think there is any evidence to support death penalty being an effective deterrent.

Agree with this. I've never seen what's supposed to be inhumane about shooting somebody in the heads as a means of execution (beyond the fact that I don't believe in capital punishment to begin with). If I'm going to get murdered by the state anyway I recks getting shot in the head is going to be better than a lethal injection process that takes like ten minutes and that apparently carries doubt over whether it's painless in all cases or not.

I was leaning towards it's cheaper though. For it to be as human we'd need someone who could handle being executioner at point blank range so there is no misses.

Pay wall so I can't read the article

As much as I'd love to dunk on Trump. I'm going to echo the sentiment that firing squads are a much more humane way to out someone down. Also, some peppered comments shouted into the void about how I wish the US prison institution was more about rehabilitation but it currently is what it is.

I would say that a shot to the head is significantly more humane than, for example, locking them in a dark room and starving them to death.

Public humiliation could be a deterrent to some. On the other hand it might motivate people in today's world as they want that 15 minutes of fame which is what I feel is a factor in shootings that end in "suicide by cops"

If we continue to have a death penalty in this country/state I am fine with the firing squad. But I don't support the death penalty so I guess it doesn't really matter.

I'm with you being awful in the first place, but several common methods of execution can result in essentially torturing people to death instead of just turning the lights out. That's significant imo

I get where you are coming from as Im against the death penalty as well but even I admit some deaths are worse than others.

I dont see any cognitive dissonance in being against the death penalty while also at the same time wanting to ensure in cases where it still goes ahead for it to be as painless as possible.

I can absolutely guarantee that Trump's love of firing squads is not rooted in them being a more humane alternative to lethal injection. Just throwing that out there.

Cheap labour. Make them work forever. Mildly drug them maybe so they don't try to run.

Lethal injections are brutal.
The only reason that people think they aren't is because the paralyze the prisoner so they don't flop around while they die of cardiac arrest. What's even worse is that the drug that makes it so the prisoner is unconscious can't be used anymore. So now they use a sedative instead, meaning that they are totally aware of what's happening.

Unironically, a firing squad is far more humane.

But realistically, the death penalty isn't humane at all anyways.

I'm all for a firing squad, but it shouldn't be televised.

Also I 100 percent back the death penalty in cases where it is blatantly obvious, and the crime is one that we consider especially vile. Let's say some dude runs around molesting kids, and the evidence against him is half a mile long, and he 100 percent did it. Yeah I'd be in favor of executing him. Not for any deterrent, but because we want to be rid of him.

That's not the issue. The reason they want it televised is to dehumanize these people and make the public desensitized to these firing lines. That way they can just start killing anyone they want and you get the same "What's the big deal?" like that other guy said.

I am against any government having the power to kill its own citizens (through judicial means, obviously there are cases of defense, but that's a sticky situation).

I am definitely against public executions. We should be above that; it's one thing to be glad about hearing someone die; it's absolutely sickening if you get pleasure out of watching a human die. We're not barbarians anymore, stride onwards. I doubt it's a deterrent, and it's only a way to make people feel powerful as they watch their audience cheer on as they put their thumb downward to let the executioner know to strike the blow. Feels very Roman emperor-like. It's 2023, not the year of our lord, 23.
