There is an interesting fact I remember reading about firing squads.
There was a custom (possibly still is) where the squad was handed a random selection of normal and blank rounds before the execution, the point was to prevent anyone from knowing who actually fired the killing shots.
From what I read online though it’s possible to tell if you fire a gun with a normal bullet vs a blank. Especially if you’ve fired a gun before, which I assume most of the people doing the execution have.
sorta hard not to. someone sticking the needle in or working the contraption. no matter how much you automate someone is going to be the last human thing that instigates the process. I mean in a scary dystopic thing (which face it is like how we have been going for awhile) there would be a robot or something that activates on a schedule based on the current court ruling. that pretty much puts it at the judge or jury at that point.
Bruh my vet was crying when she delivered the fatal injection to my dog. Anyone with an ounce of humanity understands what they’re doing.
I’m conflicted. On the one hand I believe if they’re going to carry out barbaric practices that there should be a heavy conscience behind every approval and the actual execution. On the other hand, I’m sure there’s a list of bloodthirsty psychopaths chomping at the bit to kill someone in a legal frame.
Ideally this practice would just be banned, but we are unfortunately still stuck in the stupid ages
I think that is an issue with the injection. Im not sure if its compatible with the hippocratic oath and I think you have less proficient folks orgnizing and doing it.
yeah. good point. did not even think of that. I often wonder how people feel who work at plants making military weapons. I kinda assume the are the ultra nationalist type who believe they are protecting freedom.
It’s also not good to force others to execute someone.
It either gives them PTSD or gives them a lust for more murdering.
Bad either way.
Firing squads aren’t forced. They ask for volunteers. And for this guy, they’ll probably have to hold a lottery.
Still, this is just another distraction from the dumpster fire that is the 47th presidency.

You are correct. The recoil is completely different.
And the targets head doesn’t split open like a watermelon.
Yeah, also don’t they look different?

Have you considered… not having the person executed at all?
of course. im anti death penalty.
Banishment can be a much worse punishment than execution.
There’s also just throwing them in a dark small room for 40 years.
There’s plenty of things far worse than death to punish people with if your just looking to be cruel.
Death penalty like this is just a state level pr stunt and propaganda basically.
But someone makes the robot. Ultimately it falls on someone.

I think that sort of thing is usually a volunteer detail, so I don’t imagine they’d force someone if there’s people willing to do it.
I personally wouldn’t have an issue shooting this particular guy.
