re: #66 uncah91

I think it’s interesting that there is an idea that because the firing squad or the guillotine cause external, observable violence on the condemned, that it is less “humane” than lethal injection.

It strike me that lethal injection has just as many possibilities for error, in fact more opportunities, than a firing squad. People carrying a firing squad know how to fire weapons and have experience with that. There is 5 point redundancy. Death occurs within seconds.

Not so much with lethal injection. But it looks nicer.

Up until Georgia decides to save costs on professional firing squad members and starts using partially trained correctional service inmates.
