    I don't know - I always thought that firing squads were kind of an honorable way to be murdered by your enemies because they were afraid of you. I would rather hang criminals, so they don't go out thinking you have some respect for them.

    This can of worms gets stirred up every time something goes a little wrong with the lethal injection procedure that's pretty much the only one used now. While I'm not against executions being as humane as possible, some of the reasons these scumbags are there in the first place begs for a slow, painful process for ending their miserable lives. Shooting a rape victim in the head with a shotgun and then burying her alive- - - - -I'd vote for a rope, a 3 foot tall block of ice, and a 100-degree sauna as an appropriate method of execution!

    Why an entire squad? Build a medical fixture for holding an H&R Topper .45-70 (or two) against a strategic spot on their heads. The states dispenses its justice, the hand wringers get their instantaneous kill. Being serious here. Find something quicker than that.

    I always thought humane would be 5 pounds of C4 strapped to their chest. Boom. Never feel a thing.

    Hell, daisy chain them together with det chord. Get that death row backlog down in a hurry.

    Crown of thorns? Naaaaah! Crown of det cord! A couple wraps around the head at about eye level? That would probably be even faster and more painless than my .45-70 concept, and would eliminate the need to contain the 405 grains of lead after it's done its work. Sub in a bomb blanket for the traditional black hood and you're golden.

    I forget the name of the movie, but a Russian serial killer was to be executed - he was simply led by a guard into a concrete room with a floor drain in the middle, the guard drew his pistol, put it to the convict's medulla and shot him. All in a day's work...

    A couple of centuries ago,when Ceylon existed,elephants were used in executions. It was public and was made into abig specticle The condemned was lead to a block. He was made to kneel and place his head on the block. Then with great ceremony,the elephant was lead to.the block. The elephant would then raise a leg over the man,s head a press down until the sound of the head bursting was heard. Very effective.

    Dillon Aero minigun set up at 5 foot distance from muzzle with enough linked ammunition for a 3 second burst, and fired by photocell linked to firing mechanism. Sunrise and it's all over.

    Must be the short list; my list has around 5,000 as a start.

    I don't understand why we have stuff that will put a horse down in a second with one quick shot to the neck and there has to be a medical circus act associated with a human execution.

    The fact that it is standard practice to use disinfectant on the lethal injection site tells me that the executioner isn't really "committed" to the job. :tooth:
    That's all I got.

    If we could identify all the commies that work for government agencies, I'm sure the list would be much, much longer.

    On face value, that disinfectant on the lethal injection site does seem counterproductive to the end desired.

    He is maybe worried about the prick he is pricking contaminating the needle which will be Hazardous Medical Waste anyway. Probably just good medical procedure although what's the use, it won't matter to the recently executed one!

    Wouldn't want to give the corpse a nasty infection after all. Who wants to help re-arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic?
